Teaching is our society's noblest profession, requiring enormous skill, passion, creativity, and commitment. Nothing is more important to the future of our children than our teachers. Effective teaching is the one thing proven to truly move the achievement needle – to close our achievement gaps and give every one of our students a real chance to succeed. As President Obama has stressed:

“From the moment students enter a school, the most important factor in their success is not the color of their skin or the income of their parents, it's the person standing at the front of the classroom.”

If you don't have your teaching license, there are many pathways into the profession that can prepare you for a rewarding career in teaching. The district works closely with the many preparation channels to ensure the success of its teachers, and to raise the bar on teacher effectiveness in the classroom.
