​Fact!

The nation faces an acute shortage of minority and male teachers, as well as academically talented students who are interested in teaching as a career. The Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, & Advancement’s ProTeam Program can help your school, district, and state establish a program that is certain to impact the recruitment of middle school students into the teaching profession. 

Why Does My School Need ProTeam?

Young people need to see “folks like them” in professional positions…whether they are doctors, lawyers, accountants, or TEACHERS. 

  • Many minority teens are turned off to teaching by the time they reach their senior year in high school. 
  • Many other talented minority youths never make it to the senior year prepared to enter college and pursue a professional career. 
  • Many teachers and parents/guardians actively discourage minority youngsters from considering teaching.
