The Governor has asked noted philanthropist Sherry Lansing to lead EnCorps, which will start by recruiting 2,000 teacher candidates over the next two years. EnCorps recruits will go through the same credentialing as any other new teacher, including passing the California Basic Education Skills Test (CBEST), demonstrating subject matter competence (e.g., passing CSET), passing a background check, and completing an internship program or traditional teacher preparation program.
“EnCorps is a unique public/private opportunity that partners government with business to help recruit retiring professionals to the classroom - helping California meet the huge demand for math and science teachers,” said Sherry Lansing, a member of the Governor's Advisory Committee on Education Excellence and founder of the Sherry Lansing Foundation. “This program takes advantage of one of the greatest assets we have, retiring corporate professionals with a passion for math and science, by allowing them the opportunity to share their vast knowledge in the classroom and excite the next generation of professionals.”
