Troops to Teachers is a cooperative-program of the Department of Education and Department of Defense which provides referral and placement assistance to military personnel interested in teaching as a second career. Financial assistance may be available to help pay for the cost of a teacher certification program or as an incentive to teach in a "high-needs" school.
