[YEP-DC] OSSE's Highly Effective Teacher Incentive Program (New Incentives Offered)

Highly Effective Teacher Incentive Program (New Incentives Offered)

Public schools in DC need talented teachers to contribute their time and energy to make a difference for students in high-needs schools. Therefore, the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) has launched a pilot program to recruit 20 highly-effective educators to teach in four high-needs schools beginning in the 2013-14 school year. Educators must make a commitment to teach for three years and will receive several incentives, including a $10,000 bonus, $5,000 in tuition assistance or loan repayment, a $3,000. Tax credit and access to an exciting new home mortgage program. OSSE has partnered with the District of Columbia Housing Finance Agency to create the Teacher Next Door Program. This program will be made available to participants in the Highly Effective Teacher incentive Program and will include the following:

·        Interest rate .50% below market value

·        No origination fee from the borrower

 

Candidates must have been rated highly effective by an approved evaluation system, have come from a low-poverty school (less than 50% free or reduced-price lunch) or from outside the classroom, and have taught for at least two years. Applications will be accepted between March 4th- April 19th with in-person interviews scheduled for April 29 or April 30 from 2:00-6:00. If you have questions, please contact David Hendrie at david.hendrie@dc.gov.
