QUESTION:

Jobs for Miltary Personnel in Teaching

Heard about this on the "Boomers" PBS TV show - they featured a woman who is now assistant principal at a school and loving her new career. The program is Troops to Teachers.

Here's the URL for their website and some text describing the program from their site:

http://www.proudtoserveagain.com/

"The purpose of TTT is to assist eligible military personnel to transition to a new career as public school teachers in targeted schools. A network of State TTT Offices has been established to provide participants with counseling and assistance regarding certification requirements, routes to state certification, and employment leads. The TTT homepage provides information and resource links, including a job referral system to allow participants to search for job vacancies as well as links to state Departments of Education, state certification offices, model resumes, and other job listing sites in public education.

Pending availability of funds, financial assistance may be provided to eligible individuals as stipends up to $5K to help pay for teacher certification costs or as bonuses of $10K to teach in schools serving a high percentage of students from low-income families. Participants who accept the Stipend or Bonus must agree to teach for three years in targeted schools in accordance with the authorizing legislation."

Sounds like it is worth checking out!
