Teach Toledo Recruitment

Teach Toledo provides an opportunity to earn an Associate’s degree in six semesters, graduate, and then continue for six semesters to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Education, meeting requirements for Ohio teaching licensure.  

Teach Toledo celebrates urban schools and urban communities. Coursework prepares future teachers to capitalize on the cultural assets in diverse urban neighborhoods and to recognize and challenge systemic racism. 

Pictured above:  Dr. Hope Bland (TPS Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and UToledo adjunct faculty for Teach Toledo) Mike Polk (member, Teach Toledo cohort I), Darius Simpson (member, Teach Toledo cohort II), and Dr. Lynne Hamer (UToledo faculty and Teach Toledo coordinator), ready to explain Teach Toledo to potential students.

We will be recruiting for Teach Toledo cohort III once we have secured funding for student scholarships and to support the working-adult friendly schedule for Teach Toledo coursework. Interested students should use the "request information" form below to be connected with Teach Toledo coordinators for further information.
