Upcoming Events
As a national leader and advocate for accessible, practice-based, and instructionally-focused pathways into teaching, DFI seeks to advance awareness and action for high-quality apprenticeship programs through a broad range of public engagements. Join us for one or more of these upcoming events:

Texas Legislative Events
This December, we partnered with Educate Texas to facilitate a Congressional hearing with Texas policymakers in Austin and introduce key findings from our landscape analysis of RTAPs across the state. As we head into the 89th Legislative Session, we'll work with policymakers to advance accessible, high-quality pathways into teaching.

National Convening on Registered Apprenticeships in Teaching
We look forward to presenting with leaders at Jacksonville State University and Northeastern Illinois University on the essential role of educator-preparation programs in designing Registered Apprenticeships.

2024-25 Texas RTAP Learning Visits
Over the 2024-25 school year, we'll facilitate on-the-ground learning visits at three Texas programs that are building, launching, or sustaining RTAPs for different communities across the state. Let us know if you'd be interested in hosting a visit!
