Preparing Educators for the Evolving Teaching and Learning Landscape

Teach Us is part of the Bertelsmann Education Group. Bertelsmann is committed to long-term partnerships to create meaningful value for all stakeholders by integrating advances in technology with innovative ways of teaching, learning, and performance optimization that empowers key stakeholders with job-ready expertise and career transforming skill sets. Further, Bertelsmann invests in organizations that aim to increase the quality of education. Thus, Teach Us was established in 2021 to help address teacher shortages by delivering accessible, personalized teacher preparation and providing a community of support throughout teachers’ professional journeys. ​

From inception, the goal has been and will continue to be to strengthen teacher pipelines by mitigating barriers (e.g., lower tuition fees, personalized support for test preparation) in becoming a teacher and increasing retention (e.g., professional development) through on-going, personalized support. This support includes interactions with and feedback from advisors, instructors, field supervisors, mentor teachers, and campus administrators who genuinely care about teachers’ growth, success, and professional development. ​

Learn more about our commitment to offer a personalized, competency-based approach and how this equips teachers with the knowledge and skills they need to meet the needs of their students and communities in which they serve. ​
