Page 2: Spouses to Teachers:
Spouses to Teachers will operate under the Troops to Teachers program at DANTES as well as at each of the pilot states.
Eligible spouses include spouses of active duty personnel, spouses of members of the selected reserve and
National Guard, and spouses of members of the individual ready reserve (IRR) recalled to active duty. All spouses
will be required to provide a copy of their ID card verifying their sponsor's affiliation with one of the above
eligible service categories. All eligible spouses who wish to become teachers in the pilot states may receive
assistance from the Spouses to Teachers program. This includes spouses who have already earned a baccalaureate degree
or higher, as well as spouses who are at the undergraduate level. Degreed spouses will be counseled on their options
for achieving certification and information on potential funding sources and employment opportunities. Non-degree holders
will receive help in identifying degree completion programs, as well as information about possible financial assistance,
both state and federal, and the potential for finding employment as teacher's aides or other positions in public schools.
To take advantage of this pilot program, spouses may contact the respective pilot state office.
