Description:
This virtual session introduces the Georgia Paraprofessional to Teacher Apprenticeship Pathway for school and district leaders interested in building strong grow-your-own teacher pipelines. Participants will learn the fundamentals of the apprenticeship model, including how it supports paraprofessionals as they work and earn while completing preparation toward teacher certification. The session also highlights pre-apprenticeship opportunities for high school students, demonstrating how early identification and support can strengthen the educator pipeline.
