The Power of Partnerships Conference provides a valuable opportunity for students, educators, higher education faculty, and community advocates to develop partnerships and explore solutions to the teacher shortage and teacher diversity challenges facing our schools. Conference attendees will learn from successful initiatives across New York that strengthen and expand the educator pipeline including substitute teacher fellow programs, grow-your-own initiatives, community partnership opportunities, and the role higher education and P12 partnerships play in making these initiatives successful and sustainable. The online workshop will include informational sessions and small-group opportunities to meet and connect with partners from around the region and state.
