TEACH, Vice President, External Relations

ORGANIZATION 

TEACH was founded by the US Department of Education in 2015. Its mission is to end the national teacher shortage and help talented people from all backgrounds enter the teaching profession. TEACH serves as the recruiting arm of the teaching profession, partnering directly with State Departments of Education, school districts and teacher preparation programs. TEACH accomplishes its mission with an innovative program model, which includes:

• Rebranding the teaching profession through an ongoing PSA ad campaign;
• Deploying a comprehensive recruiting system, based on best practice research;
• Supporting prospects to get over hurdles and barriers that would stop them from becoming teachers; and 
• Meeting young people where they are - i.e. online, on their phones and on social media.

TEACH currently partners with State Departments of Education, universities and schools in ten states/ metropolitan areas...
