Become a Teacher!

Make a difference! Earn your credential and master's degree in 1 year.


As you may know there is a severe teacher shortage in California! San Lorenzo Unified is addressing this shortage and our children’s needs by recruiting and training diverse and local teacher candidates who are committed to making a difference in our community. To accomplish this, we partner with Alder Graduate School of Education which offers rigorous, equity-focused online coursework enabling participants to earn a teaching credential and a master's degree in only one year.  These teachers in training or "residents" are carefully matched with SLZUSD mentor teachers and co-teach with them for a full year, gradually assuming increasing responsibility for instruction in their classroom. 

 

We pay residents a $45,750 stipend to help defray cost of living.

Teachers of SPECIAL EDUCATION, math and science especially needed.
