Golden Apple Program
Golden Apple is excited about our newest program - the Golden Apple Accelerators program. We are partnering with school districts in several partner Regional Offices of Education in southern, central, and western Illinois - ROE’s 3, 13, 39, 40, and 47 - and we would love to partner with you! About the Accelerators Program The Golden Apple Accelerators Program provides a path to teaching for career-changers and soon-to-be graduating college seniors who aren’t currently on a teaching pathway. Participants in this 15-month residency and training program must commit to living in and teaching in our partner school districts for four years after obtaining their teaching license. Partner school districts will place the Accelerators in one of their schools with a teacher-of-record for the 2020-2021 school year, and hire the Accelerator as a full-time teacher-of-record for the 2021-2022 school year. Golden Apple will continue to support Accelerators throughout their teaching commitment, including providing mentoring for the first two years of teaching. Benefits for Accelerators
