For the first time, Minnesota teachers can now become licensed to teach heritage languages. Research?has shown that learning a heritage language — a student’s home language or the language of their broader community, which kids born in the United States may not speak fluently — can improve academic performance and sense of belonging. This program is not only groundbreaking but also deeply impactful in creating inclusive opportunities for multilingual learners and their communities. Wouldn't you know it, this pathway through PELSB is also powered by Proserva! We’re incredibly proud to support this initiative and play a role in building pathways for teachers to earn licensure in these critical areas. "But until very recently, it was all but impossible for heritage language teachers to obtain a license in teaching their language and culture. Instead, those teachers often received temporary permissions to teach their subject matter. That gave them little job security or relevant professional development, and they often weren’t eligible for annual raises." This marks the second The Minnesota Star Tribune article in as many weeks highlighting innovative education programs supported by Proserva. It’s clear there’s growing momentum for creating more equitable and accessible pathways into the teaching profession. Congratulations to all the educators, districts, and organizations involved in making this possible—you’re shaping a brighter future for Minnesota schools!

Proserva continues to work with State Agencies, IHE's and School Districts to develop new Recruitment, Retention and Development strategies! Here's one recently featured in the The Minnesota Star Tribune!
Great read in the Sunday edition of The Minnesota Star Tribune... Apprenticeships have been a cornerstone of workforce development across countless sectors for centuries—scaffolding learning as individuals grow in their craft. It’s exciting to see this proven model now being applied to education. The teacher shortage is being felt not only in rural and metro areas here in Minnesota, but across the entire country. What excites me most about Teacher Apprenticeships, and something I believe isn’t discussed enough in education circles, is their dual impact: ? They directly address the critical teacher shortage. ? They serve as powerful tools for workforce development and economic mobility. The growing demand for these pathways is encouraging, and I want to give a huge shoutout to the trailblazing districts leading the way: Intermediate District 287 SouthWest Metro Intermediate District 288 Northeast Metro 916 Intermediate School District INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL DISTRICT 917 Minneapolis Public Schools Owatonna Public Schools NORTH BRANCH AREA SCHOOLS Your leadership in embracing this model is not only solving a critical problem but also creating opportunities that will have lasting generational impact. ?? Here’s to continued growth and success for teacher apprenticeship programs across Minnesota and beyond! #TeacherApprenticeships #WorkforceDevelopment #EducationInnovation #EconomicMobility #TeacherShortage #Proserva

While we’re excited about some updates on our end, today is all about celebrating the incredible hard work of the teachers, paras, and students at Minneapolis Public Schools! Your dedication inspires us every day.
I was incredibly encouraged last week when reading why The Minneapolis Foundation is doubling down on its support of Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS). That was followed the next morning by some exciting news: MPS and its students outperformed expectations nationwide in math! ?? According to The 74 Media, MPS scored 8 percentage points higher than expected in math proficiency, based on calculations comparing local poverty levels to actual scores. This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of MPS educators, staff, and students. ?? The Minneapolis Foundation’s support comes at a pivotal moment when districts and states across the country are transforming how teachers approach reading instruction (in Minnesota, see the READ Act). They also highlighted MPS’ innovative Grow Your Own (GYO) strategies, which are paving the way for meaningful change. It excites me and creates a sense of kinship to know that MPS’ new GYO programs are all being built on Proserva. At Proserva, we’re proud to support MPS in their groundbreaking efforts, including: Minnesota’s first-ever district-run alternative preparation teacher program One of 7 districts who kicked off MN's first ever Teacher Apprenticeship Programs, creating free, job-embedded pathways toward a BA + Teaching License for school staff (I'd be remiss if I didn't share that all other transformative MN district apprenticeship programs are currently powered by Proserva as well. ??) Of course, we all have work to do in the coming weeks, months, and years to continue to move things forward for our students. But today, let’s take a moment to celebrate the incredible educators, paras, and students of MPS who are making these achievements possible. ?? #ThankYouTeachers #MPS #EducationInnovation #GrowYourOwn #Proserva #EducationMatters
