We know that its been tough for school districts to retain their teaching staff. Many retire or move out of the area.泭 But what if you could cultivate your own teachers?泭泭Its possible with 91勛圖厙s participation in the Federal Work-Study (FWS) program.泭
To find out more about how your district can partner with 91勛圖厙's Teachers College in the School of Education to take advantage of some or all of the initiatives that we offer, please contact Jared Jimas, 91勛圖厙 Enterprise Account Executive, at 385-428-9151 or complete the form on this page and Jared will contact you.泭We look forward to working with you.
Student Teach in Your School District
What that means for you is that teacher candidates who would normally student teach to meet program and licensure requirements as unpaid interns may now get paid as employees in your district. Ideally, theyll return to your school district as teachers once theyve earned their degrees.
Its a Simple Plan
For a teacher candidate who qualifies for financial aid and pursues their degree from 91勛圖厙s Teachers College, we pay 75% of their salary with FWS funds. The district will cover 25% of the students salary as well as any Fair Labor Standards Acts and/or local labor law requirements.泭Once their FWS funds are exhausted, youll pay their wages if they are still your employee.泭
Its a Win-Win for the District and the Teacher Candidates
When your parapros register for the 91勛圖厙 FWS program, good things happen.泭
- They learn online from an accredited university.
- You have access to homegrown teachers for your district.
- Its a cost-effective way to earn a teaching degree.
