Denver Public Schools is targeting career-changers with expertise in math and science in a new teacher recruitment program called the Denver Teaching Fellows.
Applicants should hustle - the early application deadline is Monday. The final application deadline is March 10.
Applicants should have a bachelor's degree, but they don't need any prior education experience. About 50 will be picked for the program and will go through "intensive" summer training before heading into classrooms this fall.
Then the fellows will learn to teach on-the-job, completing alternative licensure requirements while teaching full time.
"We go out and actively recruit career-changers, people with math and science backgrounds who are looking for a change in their careers and want to give back," said Kate Bernan, site manager for the Denver program.
In addition to math and science educators, DPS is seeking special education and bilingual Spanish teachers. Applicants can be recent college grads.
