Mid-Career Teacher Recruitment Program

The Mid-Career Teacher Recruitment Program is intended to address the ongoing shortage of science and mathematics teachers in Texas schools. The purpose of this project is to expand existing programs that recruit professionals with science, math, engineering, or technology degrees to become teachers in Texas schools with a focus on middle and high school certification. The project provides existing institutions with an established track record of successful recruiting, training, placing, and mentoring career-change teachers into high need school districts. Program activities support the career-change teacher from recruitment through mentoring to ensure ongoing success in the classroom.
