Arlington Public School has created a video as part of its effort to recruit new teachers to the burgeoning school system.
To keep up with rising student enrollment and teacher attrition — retirements, etc. — APS hired about 300 new teachers in 2012 and more than 400 new teachers in 2013. School enrollment is projected to increase from 23,316 to 24,153 in the coming school year. Superintendent Patrick Murphy’s new proposed budget calls for 53 new K-12 teacher positions — in addition to new teacher hires to replace those retiring or leaving for other school systems.
To help promote its careers web page, APS created a PSA video (above) with the tag line “Inspire Generation.”
