Pinkerton administrators and other supporters recently celebrated a new teacher apprenticeship program that will offer support to those who want to become certified to teach.
Provided by Pinkerton AcademyThose who someday hope to become educators can now take part in a new program at Pinkerton Academy geared toward the support of those who want to teach.
Pinkerton Academy recently became a registered apprenticeship program supporting potential educators.
The program is sponsored by the New Hampshire Department of Labor, allowing employees at Pinkerton to engage in a competency-based program of on-the-job learning and related instruction at a college that leads to becoming a New Hampshire Department of Education licensed educator.
On Jan. 19, Pinkerton, along with members of the Greater Derry Londonderry Chamber of Commerce and others gathered at the Derry high school for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to help celebrate the new apprenticeship program.
In a news release, Pinkerton Academy Head of School Timothy Powers said the program falls in line with the school’s belief in creating meaningful educational experiences.
“The apprenticeship program allows us to create accessible pathways for individuals to become certified teachers,” Powers said, in a news release. “At Pinkerton, we believe in the lasting impact of experiential learning. We work with our students to find apprenticeships so they can grow and we are excited to be able to do the same with future teachers.”
As part of the program, those becoming apprentices have access to grant money to support their path forward to receiving a license, making it affordable and sustainable for future educators.
Currently, there are eight apprentices enrolled in the program with eight mentors supporting their continued learning and growth.
Pinkerton Dean of Faculty Jennifer Resmini said in a news release that it’s important to support a variety of paths for those who want to teach.
“The apprenticeship program provides for authentic learning, both through engagement in coursework and application of theory into practice through on-the-job learning,” Resmini said, adding that providing multiple paths for those wanting to teach is needed more than ever.
“The goal is to develop the growth of the best fit of an educator at Pinkerton and the registered apprentice program will provide opportunities for our apprentices to become part of the fabric of the community and culture, leading to self-efficacious educators as they start their careers,” she said.
