About the Event

Teaching is more than just a job; it is a calling, a passion, and a chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of young people. In Delaware, there are more opportunities than ever for aspiring educators of all ages to pursue a career in teaching.

💬

Engage in interactive workshops and informative sessions designed to provide you with information about the variety of programs aimed to build Delaware’s future educators.

Understand various pathways and how to hire graduates from these programs.
