Transition to Teaching

Efforts through the U.S. Department of Education have made nearly $35 million in grants available under the Transition to Teaching program to help school districts recruit skilled, mid-career professionals, paraprofessionals, and recent college graduates to become teachers.

The Transition to Teaching grant program also encourages the development and expansion of alternative routes to certification. Under state-approved programs, individuals are eligible for teacher certification within a reduced period of time, relying on the experience, expertise, academic background, and other qualifications of the individual, in lieu of traditional course work.

For more information on Transition to Teaching Grants from the Department of Education, please visit www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2002/10/10152002.html, or contact
