NxtGEN, an educator preparation program co-designed by Denver Public Schools (DPS) and the University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver), has been elevated in a U.S. Department of Education fact sheet as one of eight teacher education programs in the country addressing the teacher shortage and increasing the number of teachers prepared for diverse classrooms. The fact sheet was released during U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona’s call to states, school districts, and higher education institutions to address the nationwide teacher shortage and bolster student success.
