In this episode of the VIBE Edu Podcast, Kim Gameroz, TJ Vari, Mitch Weathers, and Joshua Stamper dive into how teacher preparation programs shape the future of education. When new teachers enter the system, it’s not enough to hand them a classroom and a curriculum — they need to be equipped with the tools, mindset, and confidence to create meaningful change in their schools.The crew discusses why understanding existing structures is essential before disrupting them, the importance of teaching reflection and critical thinking about current practices, and how both universities and districts must better prepare educators to take on the challenges ahead. Josh reminds us, “You have to know why the fence exists before you knock it down.”This process not only empowers teachers to innovate but also enhances teacher retention, ensuring that the institution of education sustains itself and the rate of change accelerates in the future.
