  • Recruit and encourage today’s students to become teachers in high shortage subject areas (e.g., special education, STEM, and world languages), and in high poverty, hard-to-staff schools.
  • Enhance the quality of the school’s educational program by fostering an appreciation for teaching and contributing to the smooth operation of the school.
