Have you thought ■ *
about the classrooms in
Calif rma?
California has committed $53.3 billion
to education, and we need you to fulfill
our promise to students.
I
Kindergarten
through third
grade classes
now have 20
or fewer pupils
per class.
Schools receive
financial
incentives for
reducing class
sizes in other
grades,too.
Whether you re seeking your
first teaching experience, or a _
first-class teaching experience,
California is your answer.
We re seeking graduating and
experienced teachers to lead our six million students into the future. And
we re hiring in all areas of the state, for many types of teaching positions.
California has a uniquely diverse population, and we re looking for teachers
who embrace these differences and use them to enhance the learning
environment. Because the Classroom Reduction Act of 1996 reduced class
sizes to 20 students per teacher in grades K-3, we have a renewed need
for teachers in those grades. We also have a great need for teachers who
specialize in math, science, ESL/bilingual education and special education
at all grade levels.
Bring your teaching degree to California
r Our commitment to education translates into real benefits for teachers:
Starting salaries of $34,000 to $44,000 for first year teachers; up to $19,000 in grants
for education loans; no-money-down mortgages with low interest rates; and other
incentives for teachers in areas of high need.
We need you in California. Its easy to get here.
