Recognizing the incredible value and unique skills our Veterans bring to the table, TTT has provided a pipeline for thousands of Veterans entering the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Troops to Teachers Cancellation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the Department of Defense&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.proudtoserveagain.com\/\">shifted the resources<\/a>&nbsp;used to administer the TTT program to \u201chigher priority programs more closely assigned to the National Defense Strategy.\u201d As a result, the Troops to Teachers program has been cancelled.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why This Is Important <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Military Veterans are a natural fit for the classroom. They&#8217;ve already shown their commitment to serve; by becoming a teacher, they are able to continue serving their local communities. Likewise, their strong leadership skills allow them to model excellent behavior for students. Encouraging our Veterans to pursue a teaching career benefits our local schools and students, and should be a priority for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, data show that hiring Veterans increases retention and diversity among school staff. These are goals among many school administrations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible Solutions&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses must continue to provide training and hiring opportunities for our Veterans and their spouses. It&#8217;s important to remember that, just as our members of our Military serve and sacrifice, so do their families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americanboard.org\">American Board<\/a> remains committed to serving our Active Duty Military, Veterans, and their spouses as they pursue teaching careers.&nbsp;We do so by providing the most streamlined path to teacher certification available. American Board has long been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanboard.org\/troops-to-teachers\/\">national partner<\/a> with Troops to Teachers, and we will continue that work in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>American Board reserves our absolute lowest program cost for Active Duty Military, Veterans, and spouses. Through our program, these people can earn teacher certification for only $1,000; that is $900 off the standard price. Those interested in using our Military discount should email our team at <a href=\"mailto:info@americanboard.org\">info@americanboard.org<\/a>. In addition, we will continue to work with local schools, encouraging them to consider Veterans and spouses when working to fill their teacher needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, American Board encourages all businesses to continue supporting our Veterans and their spouses. These people sacrifice for our Great Nation in ways we can only imagine. Let&#8217;s support them as they regain their footing in our local communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Troops to Teachers (TTT) For more than 20 years, Troops To Teachers has been the lead program assisting our Veterans as they transition to a career in teaching.
