Going to CCCAOE? Tina Watts and I were a late add to present on Thursday at 2:30 - 3:20 Room A-8 in the Convention Center. Non-traditional Apprenticeship in Early Childhood Education: Lessons Learned Description This presentation will explore the journey of the Early Childhood Apprenticeship Program (ECAP) at Skyline College. Multi-year planning and implementation of an apprenticeship program in an area of critical workforce need. The program focuses on reduced time to completion/transfer, equitable access, providing living wage employment and coursework leading to both an Associate’s Degree and Master Teacher Child Development Permit in early childhood education. We will discuss the planning process, funding (including CAI grant) and the complexities of working through multiple bureaucracies to provide support for a marginalized student population to be successful in the workforce.
WEBINAR (11/16, 3:30pm EST): Strengthening the Educator Workforce Through the National Registered Apprenticeship in Teaching District Network AASA is excited to co-host this webinar to highlight the work of the The National Registered Apprenticeship in Teaching District Network. The network launched in early 2023 to directly support districts and expand the use of registered apprenticeships to address teacher shortages and grow the educator workforce. The network's strength is in its diversity of participants from suburban, urban and rural districts ranging in size from under 5,000 students to the largest district in the nation with NYC Public Schools. Come and learn from district network participants (Saginaw ISD in Michigan, Ector County ISD in Texas and Appoquinimink School District in Delaware) about how they are approaching registered apprenticeships in teaching in their districts, their engagement with the network, and what their future plans are for this work.

Making Apprenticeships fit the sectors is something we have always done through a creative curriculum approach. Help give your employees a head start in their career by enrolling them onto C2C apprenticeship
This week marks the launch of the new Level 3 Early Years Educator apprenticeship. Behind the scenes, we've been hard at work crafting an innovative curriculum aimed at equipping our learners with essential knowledge, skills, and behaviors necessary to excel as early years practitioners. 💙 Our apprentices will delve into the intricacies of children's learning and development, learn effective strategies for promoting their health and wellbeing, and master the art of nurturing crucial relationships with those involved in the children’s lives. Furthermore, they'll have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of safeguarding children and ensuring equal opportunities for all. 👏 Our tailored delivery model ensures that apprentices will have access to specialised expertise, informative resources, and guidance from experienced professionals in the field. We're thrilled about how these updates to the apprenticeship standard will revolutionise the sector, and we look forward to enrolling our first new learners on this exciting journey! 🌟
William Penterman, a legislator from Wisconsin, has introduced a new bill aimed at addressing the educator shortage by establishing a teacher apprenticeship program. This proposed legislation seeks to revolutionize the pathway for aspiring educators by introducing a "2+2" model, allowing individuals to teach after completing two years of general studies followed by two years of specialized training. Currently, prospective teachers are required to undergo a four-year education program along with an additional semester of student teaching to obtain their teaching license. The proposed bill could potentially streamline the process and offer alternative routes to licensure. Across the nation, teacher apprenticeship initiatives have garnered backing from both sides of the aisle. In July 2023, the Biden administration disclosed the availability of over $65 million through the U.S. Department of Labor to support teacher apprenticeship programs across states.

Time to get WONKE For all of those of you who are working in Further Education, Adult Education or Apprenticeship delivery, things are about to get very interesting. Kate Ridley-Moy, who’s the Department for Education head honcho, has just announced that the DfE have brought forward the increase in funding from just over £400 to just over £700/£900 for delivery of Maths and English respectively to those people in the UK who do not have a level two GCSE equivalent. You cannot complete an apprenticeship without this, and the government has made this their top priority for 2024. Whether or not this should be their top priority for 2024 I will save for another post. However, with the Govt’s Apprenticeship Budget set at £2.7 Billion in 2023/24 and the Apprenticeship Levy pulling in almost £4 Billion even my ‘bro math’ can work out that roughly 130,000 Learners looking to upskill are being cheated out of £1.3 Billion of funding. 🤷🏼♂️ Would love your two pennies worth.

4️⃣ YEARS AGO, Yet it feels like yesterday. 🕰 5 years ago, we had our first cohort of learners enrolled on the new L3 EYE standard, moving on from the world of frameworks. 🕰 4 years ago, we had our first cohort enter the world of Gateway and EPA. A first for us, but also a first for NCFE with the EYE standard The last 4 years have been amazing for Swift - Education Apprenticeships and our apprentices, with a huge proportion of our learners completing with distinctions - something identified in our Ofsted inspection. 💫 Swift is now delivering the NEW revised L3 EYE apprenticeship standard, collaborating with our employers and learners to develop a curriculum which focuses on sequential and retained learning. An important factor I embedded into the new curriculum is the focus on generational impact ,whilst also encouraging apprentices to consider their theoretical influences and their own settings pedagogy to become their own Educator. Our focus then is the same focus now; High-Quality Delivery, with High-Quality Apprentices in High-Quality Employment.💫 As I reflect on the past 4 years, and look forward to the next 4 years, I must thank everyone at Swift - Education Apprenticeships , as well as our future Swifters, for supporting thousands of Early Years Educators to achieve their career aspirations, as well as the wrap-around support we offer to further build up the next generation of Educators.
