Para-To-Teacher Pathway

ºÚÁÏ´óÊÂ¼Ç State College remains committed to supporting paraprofessionals who are pursuing teacher certification.

The former Para-to-Teacher Program is no longer accepting new participants. Individuals interested in becoming teachers can work directly with the CSC Education Department and the START Office to develop an individualized degree plan leading to teacher certification.

Current students who entered through the Para-to-Teacher Program will continue to receive advising and support as they complete their programs.
