RISE Schools
RISE connects effective teachers with rewarding work environments in emerging public schools in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles and Chicago. To join the RISE Professional Network, schools must demonstrate that they have the ingredients to work for teachers. K-12 public schools that serve low-income communities, value teacher input in decision-making, and believe that our best 2nd to 5th year teachers should be retained or placed in rewarding environments, can all consider joining the RISE network.

How To Join
Principals can submit a school profile and statement detailing tangible examples of how they support teachers. Interviews and school visits by RISE staff validate submissions.
Why Join?
- RISE reduces recruitment time and attrition costs, because it pre-screens effective teachers that have established a commitment to emerging public schools.
- Membership in the RISE network helps schools keep their best teachers with financial rewards to help defray the cost of materials and supplies.
- RISE provides a professional network and recognition programs for like-minded educators.
- RISE believes that friendly competition among teachers is healthy, increases performance and encourages higher standards.
What does it cost, and how much do schools save?
The average cost per teacher resignation across the US is $56,115.
RISE costs member schools $300 per year for access to hundreds of pre-qualified teacher profiles of applicants who are actively seeking rewarding jobs.
RISE costs $700 per teacher placement, which is well below the headhunter average of $10,000 per qualified teacher.
"This year I was fortunate to use RISE in my search for quality teachers for College-Ready Academy High School, a charter school located in South Los Angeles. I was particularly pleased with the results. We found three wonderful teachers, with a minimum of effort and a maximum of results. I will certainly use RISE again and I recommend it with no hesitation."
- Howard Lappin, Principal
College-Ready Academy High School, Los Angeles
