DANTES
The Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) Troops
to Teachers (TTT) Program is a national program designed to assist eligible
military personnel to transition to a new career as public school teachers in
targeted schools. The program does not provide jobs nor issue teaching certificates,
however, for eligible military personnel, the program offers state specific
certification counseling, referral services, financial assistance toward
certification expenses, and financial incentives to teach in low income schools
where there are critical teacher shortages.
Eligibility for the program can be found through this web page http://www.dantes.doded.mil/dantes_web/troopstoteachers/eligibility.asp?Flag=True
You may also wish to contact the New York State TTT program coordinator.
