Kelly Educational Staffing® and iteach® Announce Partnership
09 Octobre 2018 - 2:52PM
Kelly Educational Staffing
® (KES®), the nation’s
leading provider of educational staffing, today announced a
strategic partnership with iteach
®, a premier
teacher certification program. This exclusive partnership is the
first of its kind to establish a consistent, long-term solution to
the nationwide teacher shortage by placing qualified individuals in
the teaching profession through a unique alternative approach.
Founded in 2003, iteach offers a unique online coursework format
and accreditation for individuals who have a four-year
degree. While completing the iteach certification program,
individuals will participate in a one-year, two-semester paid
residency during which time they are employed full-time as a
teacher in their chosen field of study.
Kelly Educational Staffing, established in 1997, is the nation’s
leader in providing quality substitute teaching staffing and
management, to thousands of schools across the country. The iteach
coursework allows four-year degreed professionals to explore fields
of academic teaching—including specialty areas such as special
education, ELL and STEM subject areas —to work at their own pace
and begin teaching in the classroom three to six months from the
start of the program.
With this partnership, KES will be able to offer iteach’s
certification process to qualified candidates from their education
talent pool as well as to the broader pool of Kelly Services.
Additionally, KES substitute teachers can credit their substitute
teaching experience towards iteach’s residency program. Vice versa,
iteach will now be able to connect their newly certified educators
with long-term teaching opportunities through KES. Additionally, as
all iteach applicants must complete field experience during the
certification process, KES can also provide iteach applicants with
substitute teaching opportunities.
“We’re combining our commitment and passion for
education to give schools access to a wider talent pool, talent
that possesses a variety of professional backgrounds that will
enrich today’s classrooms,” said Nicola Soares, vice president and
managing director of the education practice for Kelly Services.
“Imagine the positive impact a former engineer could make teaching
a STEM-related subject to middle school students. These
talented professionals will infuse education with different
perspectives, experiences, expertise and ideas—and in turn, we’re
confident that teaching will bring them a meaningful and honorable
career.”
“Our partnership with Kelly Educational Staffing will tackle the
teacher shortage crisis head-on with our highly skilled, certified
and dedicated professionals now able to enter the teaching field
faster and easier than ever before,” said Diann Huber, iteach
president and founder. “With a retention rate that far surpasses
national averages, we’re confident that this partnership will
magnify our program’s positive impact.”
Together, KES and iteach are delivering an end-to-end solution
that will enable and encourage a larger talent pool to embark upon
the noble teaching profession. To learn more, visit
