Session Code

Venue
Phoenix Convention Center
Room
226 C
Description
With school districts expanding CTE programs across the nation, the shortage of qualified teachers impedes ensuring our students have access to those viable and career-ready pathways, especially in new and industrial technologies such as solar and advanced manufacturing. The Instructors Apprenticeship for Advanced Manufacturing is an innovative professional development program that trains and supports CTE educators in developing their technical, cultural, and pedagogical competencies. Through partnerships with the National Institute of Metalworking Skills and Manufacturing Renaissance, the Instructors Apprenticeship for Advanced Manufacturing has developed a unique community of manufacturers, youth, schools, social services, labor, and communities to grow inclusive manufacturing ecosystems that can build thriving communities which all begins with high-quality career and technical education programming. In this session, participants will review how the Instructors Apprenticeship nullified the CTE teacher shortage in the area of advanced manufacturing from practice to policy-making in Chicago, Illinois.
