Growing up, TeachStart fellow Annie Talley Ochoa knew she would be a teacher one day. After serving in the Marine Corps, taking on corporate America, and starting a family of her own, she’s now fulfilling her dream of leading her own classroom. EdSurge talked to Annie about her journey and about why we need educators like her right now. We’re so proud and we hope you give it a read!
TeachStart Executive Director, Jenny Jordan was featured on the Amira Learning podcast to talk about the work we're doing to fill classrooms with diverse, effective educators. 🙌 By investing in overlooked educators (AKA substitute teachers), TeachStart is expanding rapidly and shrinking the teacher shortage as it goes.
“Currently, we treat substitute teaching as a gig. There is no training. You work the days you want. There’s no salary, benefits, or days off. By increasing pay and training resources — either through a pipeline program or union negotiation — a more permanent solution could be on the horizon.” TeachStart's Executive Director Jenny Jordan spoke to San Francisco Examiner about the state of substitute teaching in San Francisco.
