A Million Ways to Teach
About EnCorps
The EnCorps Teachers Program is a nonprofit that represents the innovative public-private partnership dedicated to increasing the number of much-needed math and science teachers in California’s public middle and high schools.
Developed with guidance from the Governor’s Committee on Educational Excellence, EnCorps helps math and science professionals transition into teaching in low income schools throughout California.
Why EnCorps Is Needed?
Despite California's current budget challenges, underresourced school districts around our state still need quality math and science teachers. In fact, over the next seven to ten years, some 33,000 math and science teachers will be needed in California.
How Can the Baby Boomer Generation Help?
Rewire, don’t retire! Baby boomers are retiring at a younger age than any prior generation. Initial research shows that as boomers begin to retire, they are looking for ways to continue working, specifically in positions which allow them to give back to society in a meaningful manner. Fifty-five percent of upcoming retirees who indicate their intent to continue working express an interest in teaching. Considering this, there is a large pool of potential teachers among the eleven million Californians retiring in the next two years.
