You can walk through these steps on your own, at your own pace, or go straight to a TEACH Connecticut advising session for help. Your call!
It's never too late to apply!
You can be in the classroom sooner than you think. View teaching programs with upcoming deadlines and start dates. Learn about application requirements and access an application checklist.
Most applications will ask you for a personal statement or essay, a resume and at least one recommendation. We’ve got step-by-step advice for each—and templates to help you get started.
Program applications can require some investment.
When you apply to one of our partner teaching programs, we’ll reimburse up to $100 for any costs required for you to complete your applications. That includes application fees, testing fees, transcript fees and more!
After you’ve submitted your applications, don’t forget about financial aid! TEACH Connecticut offers multiple scholarships each year to help future teachers like you pay for your teaching program.
Not sure the right move for you? Have questions about degree requirements, testing, finances, or programs?
TEACH Connecticut coaches are local experts who can answer your questions and help you make your next move with confidence.
Choose from group sessions and one-on-one advising by phone, text or email.
