Southern Teachers Agency
Southern Teachers is the oldest teacher recruitment company in America. We work with over 600 schools around the South, helping them to find talented teachers and administrators. Our services for candidates are free. While formal teacher training in a college education department is helpful, private schools have significant latitude with certification and can typically hire candidates to teach in their major field of study. That is to say, you don’t necessarily need an education degree or teacher certification to get a job. Want a good job? A great life? Be a Teacher! Apply now HERE or contact Joseph Bromfield bromfield@southernteachers.com.
ACE Teaching Fellows
ACE Teaching Fellows forms talented, faith-filled college graduates to renew and transform Catholic school classrooms. ACE teachers form a select cohort of the nation’s top emerging Catholic school teachers and leaders, and through ACE’s innovative instructional model, they develop the skills and knowledge necessary to serve some of the most under-resourced schools in the United States.
The three pillars of ACE—teacher formation, community, and spiritual growth—inform, inspire, and mobilize ACE teachers throughout their time in the program and beyond. For more information, click HERE or contact Kevin Fitzsimmons at Kevin.P.Fitzsimmons.18@nd.edu.
Brazos Fellows
Brazos Fellows seeks to prepare women and men for lives of mature Christian discipleship. Through a variety of educational experiences – a course of study, guided learning, guest lectures, and retreats – fellows gain a theological framework for their future work, study, and ministry. Fellows commit to a Rule of Life and participate individually and communally in ancient Christian practices. Together these disciplines aim at personal and communal growth in Christ-likeness. Through prayer, mentoring, and professional coaching, fellows will grow in awareness of their strengths and unique design in order to discern God’s various calls on their lives. In addition to joining the life of Christ Church, fellows eat, pray, and discuss together as a cohort, all the while seeking the flourishing of transformative friendships and genuine community.
