Strength in Collaboration:

Innovations to Recruit, Prepare, Mentor, Retain,
and Advance Excellent Educators​

The 2024 NYSATE-NYACTE Annual Conference will focus on how we can work together to bring outstanding, motivated, and committed individuals into our profession and help them continue to grow in excellence and leadership. The theme incorporates the “life journey” of an educator’s career. The focus is extremely critical at the present time of teacher and school leader shortages, as well as the dearth of support personnel such as school nurses, counselors, and advisors. Recent reports estimate there may be at least 55,000 teacher vacancies in school districts nationwide, and an additional 270,000 teaching positions filled by educators without the required qualifications (Annenberg Institute, 2022). The high rate of teacher turnover (14%) witnessed during the COVID-19 pandemic years of 2021-2022 has not been fully brought back to earlier levels (NCES, 2023) and additional funding for support personnel through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has ended. The data point to a concerted need for institutions of higher education to partner with school districts, community agencies, and state departments of education to invite individuals into the education profession, prepare them well, support them in their work, and mentor them into leaders for the future. Our 2024 conference will feature presentations and sessions that share, explore and celebrate collaborative efforts to recruit, prepare, mentor, retain and advance excellent educators across our state.
