College in the Schools teachers are approved by the University of Minnesota academic department from which the course is offered. CIS teachers are typically lifelong learners, committed to staying current with both pedagogy and content through reading and ongoing professional development. They are energetic and committed to challenging both themselves and their students. CIS teachers value participation in a true community of learners.

At least a few years' experience at the site where they will teach the CIS course also is helpful for identifying students and for managing administrative tasks.
