Description

A Detroit Public Schools Community District alternative teacher-certification and recruitment programme that prepares local community members and school support staff through coaching, observations, and supported school placements.

Components

  • On the Rise Academy community-recruitment alternative certification program: On the Rise Academy, run by Detroit Public Schools Community District, "recruits new teacher candidates from the local community," with 75% of participants working in DPSCD as paraprofessionals, attendance agents, and academic interventionists. Candidates receive coaching cycles, observations, and intentional school placements under principals committed to their success. In 2021 about 90% of candidates were teachers of color, and DPSCD credits improvement in teacher vacancies partly to the Academy's pipeline of new teachers offsetting retirements and resignations.
