Thank you for applying to Teach Kentucky. The application process outlined in the application checklist is the integration of three separate and distinct activities:

• Application for employment as a teacher in Jefferson/Shelby/Spencer/Henry County Public Schools
• Application for admission to University of Louisville's College of Education and Human Development's Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program (also referred to as an alternative route to certification)
• Application for the Teach Kentucky program benefits from the alumni sponsors of the program

The strategic partners have endeavored to unify these three processes, but it is YOUR responsibility to meet the qualifications of each one. You will be receiving communications directly from each of the entities as you proceed through the application process. However, feel free to contact us at Teach Kentucky at anytime with any questions you may have.

Please complete all steps of Phase I to initiate your application
