Start-up costs for the Clearinghouse were provided through a grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
The Clearinghouse serves as a gateway to job banks that list openings for teachers. It also provides resources for certified teachers seeking jobs and for school districts seeking qualified teachers. In addition, the Clearinghouse provides resources for individuals interested in becoming teachers and offers school districts and states strategies for improving teacher recruitment and retention.
