St. John’s University is pleased to announce support for
participants of Troops to Teachers (TTT), a Department of Defense
Program funded by the U.S. Department of Education, through The
School of Education’s accelerated masters degree programs. The
primary objective of TTT is to help recruit quality teachers for
schools that serve students from low-income families throughout
America. TTT helps relieve teacher shortages, especially in math,
science, special education and other critical subject areas, and
assists military personnel in making successful transitions to
second careers in teaching. The program also provides public school
districts with the opportunity to benefit from the skills,
education and experience of a pool of mature, motivated,
experienced, and dedicated personnel.
