In this episode, Seth and Lauren interview Dr. Kiersten Greene, an expert in literacy education and teacher preparation. Dr. Greene shares insights on the next generation of teachers - Gen Z candidates who seem driven by making an impact rather than just finding a secure job. She acknowledges the very real recruitment and retention crisis in teaching, but says those who still pursue the career tend to be motivated by shaping young lives.
Dr. Greene discusses practical solutions to address the teacher shortage, like better compensation and work conditions. She also talks about responsible technology integration - it should enrich student learning, not replace human connections in the classroom. While AI may have a role, it can't substitute for real teachers.
Teacher prep programs could better attract applicants by emphasizing meaningful aspects of teaching and providing classroom exposure early on. These programs also need to equip teacher candidates with practical skills to handle real-world pressures, from managing financial struggles to bridging the ideals of the profession with its gritty realities. More collaboration between teacher colleges and school districts could strengthen the pipeline.
Overall, Dr. Greene provides reason for hope in the next wave of passionate and dedicated teachers.
