More than 50 of Hawaii’s thought leaders in education gathered for the HEA Education Summit, featuring Carla Warren, Ed.D, Senior Partner with the National Center for Grow Your Own, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to create a world where an aspiring educator can become a teacher for free and get paid to do so.
Dr. Warren spearheaded one of the nation’s first registered apprenticeship programs in K-12 teaching in West irginia, which was approved by the U.S. Department of Labor.
Both Dr. Warren and Lynn Hammonds, Ed.D. were recently featured on a Sunrise morning news segment on Hawaii News Now to share about the HEA Educational Summit, and media came to cover the Educational Summit because of the community’s growing concern about the chronic teacher shortage in Hawaii.
