About
Organization: Project Pipeline/Troops to Teachers (Troops) provides referral assistance and placement services to military personnel interested in beginning a second career in public education as a teacher. It helps applicants identify teacher certification requirements, programs leading to certification, and employment opportunities. Troops is a partner on one WIRED project.
Tasks: Project 3.9 - Teacher Certification Assistance Program of Troops to Teachers: - Use the Troops to Teachers model to target and recruit 20 engineers and scientists into math and science teacher positions. - Create a sustainable and replicable model to entice retiring scientists inclined to "give back," and provide an avenue to do so. This can bring greater content relevance into the classrooms and greater engagement of students in STEM coursework and STEM career fields.
