As part of Military Appreciation Month, TeacherReady is celebrating military personnel who choose to serve again by becoming a classroom teacher. Close to 900 active duty, reserve, and retired military personnel or their family members are currently enrolled in TeacherReady or have earned their professional teaching certificate through TeacherReady. Retired Army officer Heatherann Bozeman is a high school teacher.

TeacherReady works with Troops to Teachers and Veterans Affairs; in addition, we work with MyCCA and the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, all of which provide their own teaching assistance for eligible individuals affiliated with their branch of service and who are enrolled in TeacherReady.

During Military Appreciate Month and throughout the year, we salute the work of our military men and women and their family members. We appreciate the opportunity to offer them and others interested in a career transition to the teaching profession a quality, state-approved, and nationally accredited teacher certification program to get there.
