San Jose Unified School District hopes to convince between 75 and 100 area professionals to become public school teachers for at least two years under a new program.
The San Jose Teaching Fellows program hopes to attract high achievers who want to give something back to their community. Program participants will be placed in district schools that are the hardest to staff beginning this fall, according to program director Katie Malachuk.
"We are looking for high achieving individuals who believe that all children deserve a quality education and who will work relentlessly to ensure that their students meet high academic expectations," Malachuk said.
"We want people who believe that the students in our urban schools should have the same opportunities in life as their suburban counterparts, " she added.
Prior to getting their own classes, participants will receive training throughout the spring and summer. They will teach summer school under the guidance of experienced teachers, Malachuk said.
Teaching Fellows will receive a salary in the range of $36,000 a year, depending on their education level. San Jose Unified will begin taking applications in March, according to district spokesman Bill Erlendson.<
