Educator Voice in Teacher Certification Updates

Teacher certification in Connecticut hasn’t seen major changes since the 1990s, but that’s going to change soon. Jennifer Rodriguez and Elsa Batista are Newington teachers who are sitting on the Connecticut Educator Preparation and Certification Board, and in the latest episode of CEA’s podcast they talk about the work of the Board and the importance of educators’ voice in updating the certification standards. 

Kristen Basiaga, president of the Glastonbury Education Association, records a podcast episode with CEA President Kate Dias and Vice President Joslyn DeLancey.
