Become a Teacher in Alaska

Within the past 10 years, public education in Alaska has been on a steady decline. With many teachers struggling, it is no surprise that many had to leave and pursue careers elsewhere. The biggest difference between those who stay and those who quit is their perception. The teachers who quit, view the rough patches as a dead end and decide to pursue something a bit easier. The teachers who stay, see the rough patches as obstacles that help them become stronger both emotionally and physically. Alaska needs more teachers who are up for the challenge to become a leader.

The fact that public schools in Alaska are poorly funded should be no surprise to you . As an existing teacher in Alaska, you are the backbone of public education. You are the person that incoming teachers seek for advice and support. What you do and say can push a school forward or keep it at a standstill.
