The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), in partnership with TEACH.org, has launched TEACH Maryland, a new digital platform to recruit and support future educators.
Partnering with TEACH.org, a national leader in digital teacher recruitment, the new TEACH Maryland platform supports aspiring educators at every stage—from high school students to career changers—by making it easier to explore teaching and find a path that fits their goals.
Research shows teacher quality is the most important in-school factor for student success and qualified teachers make a lifelong impact on children, families and communities. As part of the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, the state is investing in teachers—growing teacher salaries and career opportunities and recruiting talented people from all backgrounds to enter the profession with a goal to transform public education into a world-class system.
TEACH Maryland serves as a central hub for anyone interested in becoming a teacher—offering clear guidance, free resources, scholarships and personalized support to help individuals explore the profession and take the next step.
Free resources include:
- Step-by-step guides to earning a license
- One-on-one guidance from Maryland educators
- Test preparation support
- Financial aid and scholarship information
- Connections to local teacher preparation programs
- Help applying to programs and teaching roles
- Articles, videos, and insights into the profession
Through a coordinated public awareness campaign across digital and broadcast platforms, TEACH Maryland will also work to elevate the teaching profession and inspire more people to consider a career in education.
