(September 30, 2021, Washington, D.C.) – The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE) concludes its month-long Washington Week programming with the State Leaders Institute (SLI), September 30 through October 1.

Gangone, Ed.D., AACTE president and CEO. “We make a greater impact together on educator preparation, diversity, and inclusion at the state and national level.
