(FRANKFORT, KY) – The Kentucky Department of Education has named the new class of ambassadors for the GoTeachKY initiative.
The mission of GoTeachKY is to ensure that all students across the Commonwealth have equitable access to effective educators. GoTeachKY seeks to recruit the next generation of teachers in Kentucky, helping remedy the critical teacher shortage that affects every state in the U.S.
One South Central Kentucky teacher is listed among the 21 new GoTeachKY ambassadors, Mackenzie Pettus Adams of Rockfield Elementary School in Warren County.
Ambassadors were selected from a pool of applicants from across the state who answered the call for educators interested in supporting the initiative and helping promote the teaching profession.
Each ambassador has a unique story that brought them into the teaching profession and their stories will be featured on social media as examples of the different pathways available to future educators.
Ambassadors will also represent GoTeachKY at career fairs and other speaking engagements.
