Help us build our most talented and diverse cohort of Apprentice Teachers yet! Applications to the 22-23 Apprentice Teacher Program have launched! If you or someone you know is interested, join THIS webinar on February 15 at 4 p.m.!

Do you know DSST alums who are about to graduate from college and would be incredible DSST teachers? We need your help in connecting with and recruiting our alums for the upcoming hiring season. So pull out those old advisory trackers and get your social media post ready - let’s recruit the most talented and diverse cohort of Apprentice Teachers yet! 

We’d also love to recruit other folks you know that might want to work at DSST too - read on to learn how to refer great people to DSST.

What is the DSST Referral Bonus?

For every person you refer who joins our team, you can earn a $500 referral bonus!  We know this kind of outreach takes time, and we are happy to be able to recognize your efforts. You can refer candidates to our talent team and read more about our referral policy here: https://info.dsstpublicschools.org/staff-referral.

What is the Apprentice Teacher Program?

Our Apprentice Teacher Program is a year-long teacher residency where aspiring educators can earn a full time salary and benefits while learning to teach. You can read more about our Apprentice Teacher Program on our website here: https://www.dsstpublicschools.org/apprentice-teacher-program.

Who should apply?

No prior experience in teaching  is necessary to apply - we seek applicants with diverse educational and life experience who want to make an impact on youth at DSST. Our alums are particularly well positioned to take on teaching and leadership roles on our team, and we are thrilled to have even more former DSSTers rejoining our family.

Who can I reach out to if I have an idea for how to recruit great Apprentice Teachers?

Reach out to Joah Chun at joah.chun@scienceandtech.org - I would love to hear your ideas!
