Effective teachers know how to encourage, compel, accept, evaluate, nurture, shape,
humor, provoke and inspire all of their students. They boost those who struggle and
give wings to those who soar. They compel themselves to make a difference.
Does this sound like you?
Research tells us that the single best predictor of student achievement is high quality
teaching. But there is a looming need. It is estimated that over a million new teachers
will be needed to fill shortages in the next decade. Having high quality teachers
makes a critical difference to children and youth and to America’s future.
We are looking for prospective teachers who want to go far beyond dispensing
information, giving tests, and assigning grades. We want teachers who are knowledgeable
and skillful, who reflect on their teaching and strive to improve it, who are
well-grounded in the current technology, who love learning, and who are committed
to meeting the needs of a diverse student population.
