Para to Teacher Program Offers Professional Growth
One hundred and fifty-five teachers are in their first year with Millard. As Millard’s Human Resources department shared with the Board of Education last night, two of these teachers moved into their positions through Millard’s new para to teacher program. In coordination with Midlands University, the program is providing a pipeline for paraprofessionals who would like to step into a teaching career. The first two paras to complete the program have accepted teaching positions and several additional paras are currently in the program.
