Kansas
is one of six new states to be awarded a grant by Troops to Teachers, a
military transition program within the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional
Education Support that assists U.S. service veterans looking to start a
teaching career.
“This
grant is another great resource to assist service members interested in
becoming a teacher in Kansas,” said Steve Harmon, Education Services Office,
Kansas National Guard. “We encourage qualified service members to explore this
career opportunity.”
Alabama,
Michigan and Ohio Were also awarded grants along with two consortia comprised
of New Jersey and Delaware, and Missouri and Iowa. The 2018 grants received
will provide services for a five-year term ending in May 2023.
With
TTT state grants, local state education departments and agencies are able to
assist military members, veterans and TTT participants with local counseling
and guidance. These local offices become the frontline for certification and
hiring information, resources, and technical assistance on meeting teacher
requirements related to each individual state.
Registration
for the program is free and requires no commitment. Members can register via
the program website, www.proudtoserveagain.com.
The website also offers a list of teaching opportunities available to participants
and a calendar of events listing recruiting and other types of program events.
Headquarters TTT program reps also can be reached by calling 1-800-231-6242 or
by emailing ttt@navy.mil.
