New Mexico Public Education Department: Promoting innovation in Teacher Recruitment

The Promoting innovation in Teacher Recruitment initiative seeks to drive innovation in development and implementation of recruitment of recent college graduates and professionals to become teachers in New Mexico. As the New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) continues to seek innovative ways to recruit educators in New Mexico, stakeholders are called on to support recruitment efforts targeted to recent college graduates and professionals who have demonstrated a record of achievement in their recent profession and who wish to teach in low-income schools or in schools with large populations of traditionally underserved students across New Mexico.

NMPED’s goals for this initiative are:

1. Create a more sophisticated understanding of how to recruit recent college graduates and professionals who have demonstrated a record of achievement in their recent profession and who wish to teach in low-income schools and/or in schools with large populations of traditionally underserved students in New Mexico
2. Develop an understanding of how to strategically recruit for low-income schools and/or in schools with large populations of traditionally underserved students
3. Drive recruitment of greater numbers of participants into New Mexico’s public schools

Amount: Up to $500,000 is available.

Eligibility: New Mexico public school district, New Mexico public school, or a New Mexico public charter school. Applicants must work with a nonprofit organization.
