The California Center on Teaching Careers (The Center), housed at Tulare County Office of
Education (TCOE), has a long and successful history of collaboration across districts, county
offices, community colleges, universities, and business and community organizations to
develop and implement programs and services that share a vision of high-quality recruitment
practices throughout the state of California. The California Center on Teaching Careers has
been highly successful in recruiting teachers who match the needs of schools in the Central
Valley and other high needs districts in the state.
The mission of the Center is to elevate the teaching profession through attracting new and existing talent to impact teaching and learning in California's 21st Century classrooms.
The overarching goal is to support a continuum of programs and services, integrated into a flexible technology based system designed to recruit, retain, and advance a qualified, effective, diverse teacher candidate pool for the state of California.
