At the Johns Hopkins School of Education, we prepare teachers for leadership in the classroom — and beyond. Our research-forward emphasis on teacher well-being empowers graduates to build fulfilling careers in education.
Teaching offers job stability, diverse career paths, creativity and autonomy, and an opportunity to impact students’ lives. Teachers often receive benefit packages that include health insurance, paid time off, and retirement plans. While this profession provides job security, teachers can move on to become school administrators, curriculum specialists, or teacher trainers.
An experienced teacher’s pedagogical expertise, classroom management skills, and wide-ranging content knowledge are also valuable assets for roles such as school librarian, corporate trainer, and private tutor or coach. Many graduates of Johns Hopkins School of Education’s teacher preparation programs have also used their valuable classroom experience to launch education start-ups, work for education nonprofits, or continue on to advanced academic studies in education.
