Teach Kentucky is a selective teacher recruitment program seeking to attract motivated college graduates to teach in Kentucky’s public schools, enhancing the quality of education for our students and enriching our civic life by retaining these bright young minds in the region. Based in Louisville, Kentucky—a vibrant, forward-thinking city with a rich history—Teach Kentucky places the majority of its teachers within our metropolitan area. For our students, the experience of being nurtured by a bright, energetic teacher is exciting and inspiring. For our teachers, the experiences they collect are deeply rewarding, both in the classroom and in the Louisville community at large—the kinds of experiences that last a lifetime.
Sometimes the traditional route isn’t always the best or only route to take. So what I like about Teach Kentucky is that it pulls people from different backgrounds and it allows them to impart their knowledge onto students. They all have different experiences. And I think, in a lot of ways, it really benefits kids.
