The challenge is great. The opportunity to lead a classroom and shape a student鈥檚 future is greater.

Why Become a Teacher? 

  • Teaching is a career that requires a real commitment. It is also a career that comes with real rewards.
  • On top of salary, teachers tend to realize a greater long-term benefit package with vacation time, retirement plans and the same medical, dental, and vision insurance you would expect as a professional.
  • Many school districts offer annual stipends of up to several thousand dollars for teaching in high-needs fields, such as science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) or in a bilingual classroom.
  • Teaching careers align with a more active lifestyle, and often require constant movement throughout the day.
  • Oftentimes, teachers choose to use their expanded time off in the summer to travel, earn extra income, or pursue hobbies.
  • We are in need of great teachers. If you would make a great teacher, you won鈥檛 have to worry about job security.

Go Teach Bulls

What is the Go Teach Project? 

There is a current and future teacher shortage in many different teaching fields and in many communities across the country. Students associated with college athletic programs offer a pool of individuals who reflect the desired characteristics and skills to be prime targets for recruitment into the field of teaching. The current population of student-athletes reflects the diversity we hope to eventually see reflected in the educator workforce.

The Go Teach Project, hosted by the , aims to give athletic and academic departments a platform and the tools needed to assist with the recruitment of qualified student-athletes into the teaching profession. The 新澳门六合彩内幕信息College of Education and 新澳门六合彩内幕信息Athletics have joined the project to encourage more 新澳门六合彩内幕信息student athletes to consider a rewarding career in teaching.
