 What is Recruiting Washington Teachers?
Recruiting Washington Teachers (RWT) is a high school teacher academy program aimed at recruiting and supporting diverse future teachers. RWT uses a “Grow Your Own” approach; growing future teachers from within local communities, which helps to address teacher shortages across Washington State. RWT programs work to align the diversity of educators and students and eliminate the opportunity gap for students from underserved groups, with a specific focus on multicultural and multilingual students, and students of color.
By supporting participants as they complete high school, apply to and attend college, the RWT program strengthens the pathway from high school to teaching, with the goal that students will become not only certified teachers, but also education leaders who make a difference in their communities. Learn more about RWT.
