With NYS school districts facing incredible challenges filling teacher vacancies, it is time to reimagine the 1950s teacher preparation model and invest in a new approach. There is a workable solution in Apprenticeships. |
RECRUITMENT
removes barriers for the underrepresented, underserved and underemployed to join and diversify the educator workforce. |
RETENTION
reduces cost to taxpayers, strengthens school culture and student learning. |
SHORTAGE AREAS
allows districts to target need areas to access, hire, train, and retain strong talent. |
WELL-PREPARED NEW HIRES
develops a workforce knowledgeable & immersed in the community with families, the district, curriculum & programs. |
Research shows quality residency programs in teacher preparation (the foundation of Registered Apprenticeship Programs for teachers) reduce teacher attrition rates, strengthen school culture, increase workforce diversity, and improve student learning.

What are RAPs?Registered Apprenticeship Programs (RAPs) are created in partnership with Lead Education Agencies (LEAs) such as districts, BOCES, privates, or charters with both unions (if applicable) and IHEs to support high quality workforce development through the NYS Department of Labor.

At least some of these things are beginning-of-the-year practices that I don’t think all teachers do. It’s really great to see what I’d envisioned while reading come to life." |
Apprenticeships offer increased equity and access as paid employment with potential tuition assistance.
