More aspiring educators will have the opportunity to earn while they learn! 🍑

GaDOE has been awarded more than $10 million in federal grants to expand teacher apprenticeships statewide in partnership with the University of West Georgia and the National Center for Grow Your Own.

Teacher apprenticeships allow aspiring educators to earn a salary while completing coursework and gaining the classroom experience needed to become certified teachers. The new funding will expand paraprofessional-to-teacher pathways and create additional opportunities for aspiring special education teachers.

Finding opportunities to teach in Georgia is about to get easier! 🍑

GaDOE and the Georgia Professional Standards Commission are partnering to launch an enhanced statewide educator job board in January 2027.

The TeachGeorgia + Teach in the Peach partnership will create a centralized place for job seekers to explore openings statewide, search by location, and get alerts for positions that match their interests.
