Education As A Second Career

Many people are deciding to pursue second degrees and professions later in life. And the teaching area always benefits from those decisions.

Teachers Count (teacherscount.org) lists several organizations for those who wish to become teachers but have other life experiences and degrees. Those included are Troops to Teachers, which helps military personnel to become educators in multiple fields, including elementary education; Teach for America, which helps those recently graduated and those who are bridging over to find work in urban and under-funded areas; and multiple regional programs.
