Earn a teaching credential High Tech High is the first charter school that has been authorized by the state of California to fully credential its own teachers. Only people who have been hired as teachers at High Tech High can earn a credential. To enter the teacher credentialing program, it is necessary to first obtain a teaching position at High Tech High. For more information on the HTH teacher credentialing program, go to: http://www.hightechhigh.org/about/educator_training.php. Email teachingjobs@hightechhigh.org with a resume and cover letter if you would like to earn a teaching credential while working as a teacher intern or full time teacher. Career switcher? Are you working in a math, physics, chemistry, or engineering related field? Do you have an interest in teaching math, physics, or chemistry? We anticipate having openings for teachers of those disciplines for fall 2008. If you are currently living in San Diego, there are opportunities at High Tech High to get on a teaching career path. For 2007-2008, you could volunteer in a classroom occasionally, or get hired on an hourly basis to tutor students and/or to work in classrooms alongside an experienced math or science teacher. This type of volunteer/paid experience will gave you exposure to what it is actually like to be a teacher while offering you a flexible schedule while you are still working at your current job. Further, if in the future you are hired as a teacher at an HTH school, you are automatically enrolled in our free, two year credentialing program while you are teaching at one of our schools. Please email teachingjobs@hightechhigh.org with a cover letter and resume if you would like to consider getting involved in the HTH Career Switcher Teaching Path. Teacher Interns High Tech High anticipates hiring teacher interns for the 2008-2009 school year. Teaching internships are available in 6-12th grade humanities, math, science, Spanish, and the arts. Teaching Interns teach 2 sections per day (a 50% teaching load), have an advisory, teach an x block club, attend all faculty meetings, are at school all day, and are paid a $20,000 salary. In the second year, interns will normally again work at a 50% teaching load, although some interns may be offered a full time teaching load and a full time teaching salary during the second year. Interns are concurrently enrolled in the HTH teacher credentialing program, a free, two year program. Presuming the teacher intern is offered a contract at an HTH school for the second year and completes all requirements for the teaching credential, they can earn a California teaching credential. This credential is exactly the same as a credential earned through a university. Email teachingjobs@hightechhigh.org with a cover letter and resume if you would like to be considered as an HTH teaching intern.
