It's no secret that the greater Bay Area, and San Francisco in particular, are in the midst of a historic teacher shortage. While there is no shortage of college students or talented adults in every sector interested in working with children or making a difference in their communities, they face the stark economic reality that most urban public school districts can not pay them salaries that make living in the communities where they want to teach truly sustainable.
At Gateway, we're committed to paying our teachers a livable wage that reflects their multiple degrees, credentials, years of experience and impact on the community. Moreover, we’re committed to supporting educators at every phase of their career in their ongoing work to master their craft, and collaborating with educators both near and far for the benefit of all public school students.
