MAKE SAN DIEGO A BETTER PLACE

TEACH-LEAD SAN DIEGO


TEACH-LEAD San Diego (TLSD) is San Diego Unified’s latest endeavor focused on eliminating barriers that hold future educators back from pursuing their goals. The new program offers both financial and personalized pathway resources to individuals beginning or continuing their journey towards a career as a teacher. TEACH-LEAD San Diego is a part of the district’s new “grow your own” teacher pipeline program, dedicated to supporting individuals in becoming teachers in their local communities. 


This program will help onboard certified practitioners to reflect the district’s diverse population of students. As California’s second-largest district, San Diego Unified serves more than 95,000 students and represents more than 15 ethnic groups. Studies have shown that all students benefit when they have access to teachers and leaders who look like them and may have similar life experiences. By cultivating talent from within our community that is representative of our diverse demographic, we aim to foster a dynamic educational landscape that not only empowers our students but also nurtures the very roots of our local educational system.
