Our Next Webinar
Are you looking to start or expand your Educator Pathway for this year or 2024-2025? Now is the time to start planning! To help you begin the school year strong, we are hosting a series of webinars. Each webinar will highlight a different aspect of how to grow-your-own teachers starting in high school.
PDK International provides research and advocacy to support the next generation of educators who reflect the demographics of the communities they serve. Through Educators Rising, we offer schools the opportunity to foster interest in the education profession while providing comprehensive programming that is flexible, interactive, and prepares students to enter the education profession.
Our webinar series will pause for the summer. Join us this fall for more insight into the Educators Rising experience.
