About TEACH Connecticut

The CSDE is committed to ensuring that all students regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, family wealth, zip code or disability status have access to excellent teachers and leaders.

The mission of the CSDE Talent Office is to develop and deploy talent management and human capital development strategies to districts and schools statewide so that the most effective educators are in every school and classroom, and all students are prepared for college, career and life.

The CSDE Talent Office is committed to supporting Connecticut’s teachers and leaders at every step of the career continuum: attracting, recruiting, preparing, inducting, supporting, retaining, advancing and elevating effective teachers and leaders who represent the racial, ethnic and linguistic diversity of Connecticut’s students.

Recognizing that great teachers are critical for our children's life outcomes and for the fate of the nation, several organizations formed TEACH.org to assist anyone who is considering becoming a teacher.

TEACH.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, launched by Microsoft and the U.S. Department of Education, and is supported by the nation’s top teacher associations.

The mission of TEACH.org is to enable people to explore teaching, decide whether it's for them, take the steps to become trained and certified, and set them up for success. TEACH.org has built some of the best apps and resources to help people determine whether teaching is a professional fit, to research and compare programs, and even to get a glimpse into what leading a classroom is like.

Financial support for TEACH Connecticut is provided by the Peter & Carmen Lucia Buck Foundation (PCLB), a private family foundation that seeks to improve the quality of life in the communities it serves.
