Congratulations to the AACTE state affiliate organizations from Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, and Montana which were selected from among numerous excellent applicants for a 2022-23 State Affiliate Support Award.

- Partnership and Communication
The selected awardees will be pursuing the following projects this year:

- Georgia: Develop with key stakeholders a 10-year legislative plan of action to address the teacher shortage through recruitment, induction, and retention best practices and advocate for the adoption of the plan.
- Minnesota: Creating a framework of agreed-upon best practices for the teaching of early literacy, creating and disseminating learning modules, and hosting a virtual literacy summit with PK-12 partners, the state department of education, and literacy experts.

As their work advances, each awardee will author stories in Ed Prep Matters describing their work, what they are learning, and important lessons for other states. So, stay tuned!
