Education Workforce
Development

In the face of teacher shortages world-wide, Etio has worked closely with local education agencies, preparation providers, and higher education institutions to develop programs and partnerships that offer alternative pathways to teacher preparation and certification. While many agencies see the value in the grow-your-own teacher model, they may require guidance about the most effective ways to attract and select high-potential candidates. Our teams are equipped to provide local expertise, tried and tested methods for recruiting and orienting candidates, and the high-level of support for candidates and providers to ensure a smooth transition.

Our pedagogical experts are well-versed in creating research-based practical content for preparation courses, as well as training instructors in the best approaches to adult learning. Etio has a variety of flexible methods for onboarding new educators into work-based learning through real-time modeling and feedback that provides both guidance and teacher-readiness data. Coursework and fieldwork are all aimed at providing candidates with transparent data and real-time feedback to assess their progress toward state levels for teacher quality. This data informs preparation providers, emerging educators, and local schools with the information they need to confidently train, endorse, and hire newly qualified, and highly valuable teachers.

Etio empowers education agencies to build a strong, local workforce by identifying, training, and certifying community members who are potential educators but lack formal qualifications.

We collaborate with districts, universities, and community organizations to transform local talent into effective teachers, leaders, and support staff. By helping you invest in the people within the communities, Etio enhances educational outcomes and fosters sustainable development, ensuring that schools not only fill vacancies but are staffed by individuals who are deeply connected and committed to their community's success.

Etio revolutionizes teacher skill development by recognizing educators as lifelong learners who flourish with robust training, exemplary models, and growth opportunities. Our program equips education agencies with science-based tools to enhance educators' abilities, fostering individualized teaching styles that align with core values and beliefs.

By supporting educators with time for reflection and professional coaching, Etio helps strengthen their instructional methods, build meaningful relationships, and boost overall teaching effectiveness. This approach not only elevates the quality of education but also empowers teachers to master their craft and positively impact student outcomes.

Effective Leadership Teams for Equity offer school leaders the chance to cultivate a driving force for educational equality in their schools. By managing these teams, leaders can acquire vital skills and competencies that instigate positive change. Teams are armed with tools and protocols that can repeatedly reinforce effective data-based decision-making practices, consensus building, and essential mindset shifts. This ultimately empowers schools to actively work towards racial justice, equity, and inclusivity. Therefore, the benefits of these leadership teams impact not only the school leaders but also the entire school community, creating a more equitable and inclusive environment for all.
