From the Military to a Classroom

Week of September 01, 2008

There are many teachers who used to be in the military. The federally funded Troops to Teachers program, which has been around since 1994, has produced almost 11,000 teachers. The program offers a $5,000 stipend to former military members who study to become teachers. Troops to Teachers requires participants to have served six years in the military. After six or more years in the service, veterans have leadership skills that easily translate to the classroom. Learn more on Military.com.
