For Districts

Whether you are an aspiring teacher, a new teacher, or have been teaching for many years, the Imperial County Office of Education is here to help you.  We handle the administrative side of things, helping you register or obtain credentials, or locate open positions in special needs sectors, but we also have a whole team of individuals dedicated to helping new teachers prepare for classroom teaching, and helping established teachers locate the best resources for their students in their particular subject area.
