Nebraska Schools Have Started Paying Stipends to Their Student Teachers

March 03, 2023

Dr. Dan Schnoes of ESU 3 is back again this week to share his insights on a topic that was recently on the front page of the Omaha World-Herald, paying student teachers for their time spent student teaching. Here's the link to that OWH story.

On the pod, Dan provides the backstory of this effort, the details of its implementation, and the immediate impact it has already garnered in Nebraska. Our conversation also entertains some of the potential unintended consequences in the future while also noting just how imperative it is to be innovative in how we invite new and potential teachers into the workforce.
