Teaching Jobs in Tampa

The Achievement Schools (AS) Model is a researched-based, district approach for interrupting systemic barriers to equity in order to achieve equal outcomes for students. It is an aligned system of support that will allow our district to remove the predictability of success or failure of individual schools and students based on any aspects of one’s identity. It is an equity-focused initiative for distributing resources that will support the unique challenges faced by our 50 schools.

Collaborating Teachers (CTs) are central to our recruitment efforts in Hillsborough County Public Schools. Our teacher leaders welcome hundreds of College of Education students into their classrooms each year for observations, practicums and final internships. Teachers who host practicum and final interns must have at least three years of teaching experience, possess clinical educator training, be rated highly effective and secure their principal’s approval. Clinical Educator training is offered throughout the year. Information may be found in the PDS catalog. For more information, please email interns@sdhc.k12.fl.us.
