Teach at MPUSD
We at the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District know that if we are on our way to becoming one of the finest public school systems in the country that serves ALL students well, and engages each student in deep learning that prepares them to solve the challenges of the 21st century, we must recruit and retain high quality teachers. We recognize the challenge of recruiting and retaining high quality new teachers given the current California teacher shortage, and we feel it is our charge to ensure we have various entry points for new teachers in the district. Please see the entry points into developing as a new teacher in MPUSD below:
