Welcome to my blog!
Thinking about a career change? People from business and industry often raise their appreciation for teaching as a profession when they participate in partnership activities in schools. The New Teacher Project helps people switch from other careers to the classroom. This organization reports a 44 percent increase this year of people making this switch. The economy may be the reason but the fact remains that some outstanding teachers have been identified in this way.
As Education Secretary Arne Duncan says, "There are great folks out there who are passionate, who care about children and who often have great content knowledge-math, science, humanities or whatever it might be. We want to help them get into the classroom." Please e-mail me if you would like more information on The New Teacher Project.
