Any day spent recognizing and celebrating Indiana educators and students is a good day, and last Wednesday was good twice over as two major events were hosted at the Indiana Statehouse celebrating students and teachers.
First, on Wednesday morning, educators from schools in every corner of the state packed the Statehouse to celebrate their incredible literacy achievements from the past year. We were honored to have Governor Holcomb join in congratulating nearly 300 schools that had 95% or more of their third grade students demonstrate reading proficiency in 2024. Check out the video below for highlights of the celebration!
The celebration continued on Wednesday afternoon, where over 50 students from across the state were recognized for being the first in the state to participate in Indiana’s newly-developed early childhood education registered apprenticeship program! Alongside their teachers, students “signed” with local employers and higher education partners, to make their apprenticeship “official.” Photos from the event can be found here, and check out the video below!
 |
Students participating in the program gain valuable experience and credentials of value in the early learning setting while earning high school credit. Upon completion of the apprenticeship, students can immediately start their career as an early childhood educator or continue in the career pathway to earn a degree. The program’s curriculum aligns with the Early Childhood Education Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathway under Indiana’s Next Level Programs of Study (NLPS) and includes a combination of high school courses, dual credit, and dual enrollment options.
Shout out to the following schools where students are currently participating: Anderson Community Schools, Elkhart Community Schools, Greater Lafayette Career Academy, Indianapolis Public Schools, Lewis Cass Community Schools, Metropolitan School District (MSD) Lawrence Township, and New Albany Floyd County Schools.
It is always an honor and a pleasure to celebrate the good work happening in our Indiana schools. Thank you for making this possible!
