Insights
The launch of Road2Teach in Indiana represents a significant development in addressing teacher shortages and improving education quality. This program's innovative approach combines flexibility with practical experience, potentially attracting a diverse pool of candidates who might otherwise not pursue teaching. The 12-week internship with 10 weeks of solo instruction is particularly noteworthy, as it provides substantial hands-on experience. However, the compressed timeframe raises questions about the depth of preparation compared to traditional four-year education degrees. The program's focus on Praxis exam preparation and access to professional development resources could enhance teacher readiness, but its long-term impact on teacher retention and student outcomes remains to be seen. Overall, this initiative could serve as a model for other states grappling with teacher shortages, potentially influencing national education policy if successful.
Road2Teach's integration of self-paced online coursework with practical internships showcases a forward-thinking approach to teacher preparation. This blended model leverages technology to provide flexibility while ensuring real-world experience. The Stride Professional Development Center with its on-demand courses is a particularly valuable asset, allowing for continuous learning on important topics like diversity and the Science of Reading. However, the effectiveness of online learning for developing interpersonal teaching skills is still debated in educational circles. The program's success will likely depend on the quality of its digital platform and the robustness of its online-offline integration. If executed well, this model could set a new standard for tech-enabled teacher preparation programs, potentially influencing how educational technology is utilized in teacher training nationwide.
Road2Teach aims to equip Indiana’s future educators with path to success
Indianapolis, IN., Sept. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stride, Inc announced today that Road2Teach, a new teacher preparation program, is approved to become a Transition to Teaching education preparation program in Indiana. Road2Teach is designed to equip Indiana’s future educators with the essential skills and knowledge needed to be classroom-ready from day one. Featuring a unique blend of self-paced online coursework and a 12-week teaching internship, Road2Teach will offer two non-degree-granting programs in Indiana to help aspiring teachers transition to teaching and pass their teacher certification exams.
“Indiana’s students and schools deserve teachers who are engaged, motivated, and passionate about educating future graduates,” said BJ Watts, Indiana State Board of Education Board Member. “We’re eager to see this program provide intentional experiences for non-traditional adult learners and help develop well-trained teachers who will inspire lifelong learning in Indiana’s students.”
Road2Teach’s Elementary Education program includes 24 credits and a 12-week teaching internship, while the Secondary Education program requires 18 credits and a 12-week teaching internship. Both programs prioritize hands-on experience, dedicating 10 out of the 12 internship weeks to full-time solo instruction.
“With a focus on affordability, flexibility, support, and innovative technology, Road2Teach aims to produce teachers who are equipped to make a positive impact in Indiana classrooms,” said Dr. Cara Bernstein Chernoff, General Manager at Road2Teach. “Anchored in scientific research and professional practices, the program is tailored for non-traditional adult learners, offering the flexibility and support needed to transition successfully into the teaching profession.”
Understanding the critical need for comprehensive support, Road2Teach provides its members with access to up-to-date Praxis study materials, including practice exams. Candidates also receive personalized assistance from candidate advisors and faculty to aid in study preparation and exam readiness.
