teachNOLA Revenue and Competitors

teachNOLA is an initiative of the Recovery School District and New Schools for New Orleans. We seek outstanding mid- and post-career professionals and recent college graduates to make a difference by teaching in public schools in New Orleans starting in the fall of 2010. This highly-selective initiative recruits talented individuals to drive the city’s rebirth by boosting academic achievement for all students. This is a critical time for New Orleans and a potential watershed moment for public education in the United States. The reconfiguration of the city’s schools following Hurricane Katrina provides a historic opportunity to transform one of the nation’s lowest performing school systems. That transformation will not be possible, however, without a group of accomplished, goal-oriented teachers. Socially conscious professionals and recent college graduates are encouraged to apply. We are particularly interested in candidates to teach science, math, early childhood education, and foreign languages.
