TeachMN is a new statewide initiative launched by the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and the Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB) in partnership with TEACH, a national nonprofit leader in teacher recruitment. Together, we are working to expand and diversify Minnesota's teacher workforce through a unified, accessible, and free recruitment platform: TeachMN.org.
Developed collaboratively with Minnesota service cooperatives, school districts, charter and Tribally Controlled schools, teacher preparation programs (TPPs), institutions of higher education, and community organizations, TeachMN is designed to supplement and strengthen existing teacher recruitment and support efforts across the state.
Whether you're a high school or college student, a mid-career changer, or a non-licensed school staff member, TeachMN is here to help you explore the teaching profession and get started on your journey to becoming an education.
