The National Registered Apprenticeship in Teaching Educator-Preparation Program Collaborative, or EPP Collaborative, is a growing network of programs across the country committed to building high-quality apprenticeship programs.
DFI has been proudly facilitating this network since 2023. The EPP Collaborative aims to:
- Build understanding of regulatory and financial considerations for launching and sustaining Registered Apprenticeships in teaching
- Connect EPP leaders committed to designing, launching, scaling, and/or sustaining Registered Apprenticeships in teaching, and
- Elevate stories of teaching and learning that highlight the different voices, perspectives, and experiences of EPPs across the country who are contributing to meaningful outcomes for students through Registered Apprenticeships for Teaching
Through webinars, workshops, and newsletters, programs in the EPP Collaborative stay engaged on the latest information and key learnings for creating successful and sustainable RTAPs.
To-date, we've featured the following RTAPs on our learning calls:
