The Visiting Educator Program is a unique employment
exchange program requiring cooperation among individuals working
in public education and the California Department of Education
(CDE). The program offers temporary
assignments that may last as long as six years. It is not a substitute
for permanent civil service employment.
CDE believes that California's educational community can benefit from the short-term assignment (at the state level) of local or national experts who can assist in the development of statewide programs and/or policies. Selected candidates for the Visiting Educator Program may be educators who have developed outstanding local programs, subject matter specialists who can provide expertise in focused areas, or school business specialists who can provide expertise in resolving problems facing school administration today.
Visiting Education Program participants are employees of qualifying governmental jurisdictions (e.g. local school districts, county offices of education, public and private universities) who work for the CDE while on loan from their current employers. In exchange, the CDE reimburses the participants' employers for costs such as salaries, benefits, and related expenses.
All professional education and managerial positions in the CDE are potential Visiting Educator opportunities. Information about current opportunities is available at Ed Join.org (Outside Source). Additional information about the Visiting Educator Program is available from:
