Denver Public Schools has announced the development of the International Educator Institute. This is an expansion of our current Visa Sponsorship Program to continue to be an essential part of our work to bring talented individuals to serve and develop our globally competent scholars.
“The newly launched International Educator Institute will provide an incredible opportunity to recruit, hire, devel- op and retain qualified and talented individuals to support our highest needs areas,” said Denver Public Schools Superintendent Alex Marrero. “These qualified candidates can help fill the staffing gaps that we are facing, and, as bilingual professionals, can help with the increase of students we are seeing who are learning English as their second language.”
In addition, the institute has been carefully designed to support extended onboarding, professional development, cultural transition assistance, and social and emotional support for our new and current international educators.
“Our current Visa Sponsorship Program has been, and continues to be, an essential part of the work we do to bring talented individuals to serve and develop our globally competent student scholars,” said DPS Chief of Talent Edwin Hudson. “We had 58 new international educators join Team DPS this school year! We strive to continue building upon this growth through the new programs we will offer under the DPS – International Educator Institute.”
Denver Public Schools is thoughtfully modifying the structures and systems to build the System Experience that is addressed in the Strategic Roadmap throughout each of our departments, programs, and initiatives.
