OUR
MISSION:
Actively recruit talented candidates
into the teaching profession, especially targeting students
attending Michigan urban school districts and those
who aspire for a career in urban education. Provide
middle and high school students with opportunities to
explore teaching as a career option. Help students gain
a realistic understanding of the nature of education
and the role of the teacher. Coordinate information
about teaching as a profession, employment opportunities,
financial assistance options, and educational issues
such as professional mobility, diversity, job security,
and other matters.
RATIONALE
The good health of our nation's
schools depends on bringing into the classrooms, as
new teachers, the brightest and best among today's students.
Teaching needs to be viewed as a promising career option.
Particularly needed in the future will be teachers from
diverse backgrounds to match, and be sensitive to, the
increasing diversity in our classrooms.
