Bill > HRes267

This resolution celebrates the 10th anniversary of Educators Rising, a nationwide movement that helps high school students prepare for careers in teaching. Originally established in 1937 as Future Teachers of America and rebranded in 2015, the organization addresses critical teacher shortages by creating innovative "Grow Your Own" (GYO) initiatives that attract local talent to the teaching profession. The resolution highlights Educators Rising's significant impact, noting that the organization has over 1,400 chapters across all 50 states and has supported nearly 325,000 students since 1994. By providing curriculum, clinical experiences, and professional development, Educators Rising helps students transition into teacher preparation programs and supports the creation of a more diverse teaching workforce. The resolution commends the organization for its efforts to inspire future educators, recognizes the importance of local pathways into teaching, and encourages continued investment in programs that support students pursuing careers in education. Ultimately, the resolution celebrates Educators Rising's role in addressing teacher shortages and fostering a dynamic, representative teaching workforce that can positively impact schools and communities.
