PBS encourages associate teachers to think of this as a 2‑year program to make the most of the experience. PBS will be committed to preparing people for their futures as educators through placement in graduate school, a lead teaching position, or many other pathways. We invite the fresh perspectives and experiences that our associates share with our community.
