TEACHER EDUCATION AND COMPENSATION HELPS (T.E.A.C.H.)

Teacher Education and Compensation Helps (T.E.A.C.H.) is an early childhood scholarship program with a primary goal to help change negative trends in the child care workforce. T.E.A.C.H. accomplishes its goal by providing direct support to early childhood caregivers and center directors to enable them to work toward earning a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential or equivalency, an A.S. degree in Child Development and Education or a Director’s Credential. T.E.A.C.H. links compensation and training and involves a partnership for the sharing of expenses by the caregiver receiving the scholarship, the sponsoring child care center or family child care home and the T.E.A.C.H. program. The AWI provides funding for the T.E.A.C.H. program. The Florida Children’s Forum is the authorized agent for T.E.A.C.H. in Florida. For more information on T.E.A.C.H. call 1-877-FL TEACH
