Building Teacher Pipelines & Reinventing the Role of Teachers
Watch this conversation at ASU+GSV 2023 featuring TeachFX CEO Jamie Poskin, Presence CEO Kate Eberle Walker, Teach for America CEO Elisa Villanueva Beard, Study.com SVP of Social Impact Dana Bryson, and National University Professor of Education & Director of Social and Emotional Learning Cynthia Sistek-Chandler.
The teacher shortage in our schools pre-dated the pandemic. It’s been – and will continue to be – intensified by the myriad challenges the pandemic brought to teaching and learning.
The crisis is leading educators and EdTech leaders alike to imagine new strategies for attracting, retaining, and supporting teachers in our schools.
Leaders from Presence Learning, Teach for America, Study.com, National University, Imagine Learning, and TeachFX, gathered for a wide-ranging discussion of the most promising strategies k-12 principals and district leaders are exploring.
These strategies all center around fostering a positive, productive, and sustainable teaching environment.
That’s why TeachFX is focused on not just retaining teachers, but helping them thrive. The premise of our work is simple: Your students are brilliant And we want to celebrate those moments of brilliance.
Teachers enter the profession with a purpose, often driven by a belief in their students' potential.
But amid the daily grind, this fundamental purpose can fade into the background. We aim to counter this by helping teachers reconnect with their initial motivation and celebrate their students' brilliance.
Teachers, like all professionals, need to feel they're continually learning and developing.
TeachFX provides teachers with a true continuous cycle of improvement. Our app allows teachers to gather for themselves regular, job-embedded learning experiences with insights into their students’ engagement and the ability to self-reflect in minutes.
Self-reflection is crucial. Using TeachFX, teachers can review and reflect on their teaching practices on their own. This can help alleviate the pressure that can come with in-person classroom observations.
