WHAT IS THE EDUCATOR EXCHANGE?
At this fourth Educator Exchange, Insight Education Group will convene leaders and students from K-12 districts, Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in order to establish district-university partnerships. We recognize the important role that these institutions have in preparing and launching the careers of effective educators of color. Thus, together, we want to address the pervasive demographic mismatch between educators and students across our nation. Join this workshop to better recruit, support, promote, and retain top educators of color in STEM education.
WHY ATTEND?
At the Educator Exchange, participants will:
- Dialogue and cultivate partnerships between higher education institutions and school districts that further the national efforts of recruiting, supporting, and retaining top candidates of color and building a direct pipeline of educators.
- Learn actionable strategies informed by evidence-based research, practice, and expert opinions.
- Participate in panels, keynotes, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities.
- Students are welcome. We know this conversation can’t happen without the input of aspiring educators. We encourage you to invite MSI and HBCU students who are interested in becoming teachers.
- Join other education leaders and students from across the country. Learn, share, and network -- and take away actionable and sustainable approaches to developing and implementing strategic educator recruitment and retention systems.
