3 Purpose Provide pathway to teacher licensure for Paras who do NOT have a Bachelor s degree Diversify the teacher workforce (Increasing teacher diversity by tapping the paraprofessional pool, Ana Maria Villegas, Beatriz Chu Clewall, Theory Into Practice Vol. 37, Iss. 2, 1998) Help schools and school districts to build a grow your own teacher workforce to fill teacher shortage areas Increase the higher education completion level for non-traditional students Provide pathway to teacher licensure for Paras who do NOT have a Bachelor s degree Diversify the teacher workforce (Riley, 1998; Villegas and Lucas, 2004) Build a community-based pipeline to fill high need teacher areas such as special education Increase the higher education completion rate for non-traditional students Obstacles Identified for Paraprofessionals to Obtain Licensure Same Financial hardship Social factors such as cultural and family expectations Academic preparedness and confidence External pressures such as unsupportive work environment Source: (ERIC Digest.

Principals received letter when Para accepted in BTT and also when they complete program. All completers were hired in home school. 4 out of 6 program completers are employed: 3 in home school; 1 in a new urban school and district. Superintendents wrote support letters stating the districts would give JET paraprofessionals hiring priority as teachers. 4
7 Program Evaluation Participants Comments Learning from Each Other SWOT Analysis Institutional requirement Anecdotal evidence from participants BTT gave me an opportunity to return to school to work towards my Bachelor s degree in Liberal Studies with a strong concentration on education. We were able to share our practices and common goals, which does not often take place in our schools. The education classes offered, were taught by public school teachers and they were quite encouraging to all of us in pursuing our own classrooms. (FL Introduction to Education course evaluation) I was a student in the Undergraduate Bridge to Teaching program last year. I graduated in January after Student Teaching at the Mendell School in Roxbury. The program was helpful to me as I worked my way through the program and I greatly appreciated all that you did. In the end, I successfully received my Elementary Licensure. (2010 Participant - unsolicited comments) Recruiting participants from Community Colleges Pathway to teaching through Community Colleges Pathway from BA to MAT Financial planning for use of aid to help meet program expenses outside of academic programs such as MTEL costs. Outside evaluation required by grant Annual Participant surveys and analysis Teacher surveys and analysis Stakeholder Interviews The JET Program has changed my life. It has given me the opportunity to go back to school and finish my degree in teaching..something I never would have been able to do on my own. (Year 3 Participant Survey)...JET enhances a life professionally and personally. The support of the JET staff and the professors of Umass D along with the cohort format create a learning experience that is effective and doable. (Year 4 Participant Survey) Strategies for Paras to be able to do practicum in home school while remaining employed. Use of practicum waiver. How to institutionalize after grant ends cost benefit analysis and revenue stream to university. 5
8 Successes Challenges Building relationship with partner school district Hybrid courses in EDU Career Development Office Offers resume writing Program Completers are employed as teachers of record in home school. Academic self-confidence, time management Competing responsibilities work (maybe two jobs), family, coursework Changing school assignments or moving to new school Passing all MTELs (Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure). Elementary and Special Education licenses have 3 required MTELs. Other teaching licenses require only 2 MTELs. Transitioning to classroom teacher role in student teaching 6 Building partnerships with partner school districts. Collaboration within the university: College of Arts & Sciences, Teaching and Learning Department, Continuing Education, Student Financial Aid Increased retention rates with successive cohorts Engaged paras in reflective conversations on professionalism and readiness to teach Published articles by JET paras in Massachusetts AFT Newspaper, The Advocate 2010 National Teacher of the Year Guest Speaker Same points as BTT Plus: Maintain Cohort Model when JET students enter program with varying amounts of academic credit. Manage both undergraduate and graduate programs for the participants Arrange for Practicum while Para remains employed Integrate academic program with classroom work in order to apply new knowledge and skills and take on increased classroom responsibilities before the full Practicum Increased partnership between JET and the classroom teacher I really have limited knowledge of what my para should be doing more of to aid in the requirements of JET. (comment from Teacher Survey in Year 4)
9 National Association of Alternative Certification 2013 Conference From Paraprofessional to Teacher Professional: Two Successful Alternative Program Models Friday, March 15, :00-12:00 Presenters Pamela Herrup, JET Program Director, CUSP - University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Angela Irving, Associate Director of Academic Programs (Program Director of BTT Program), Northeastern University, Boston Claire Morgan, JET Program Evaluator, WestEd Overview of Session Welcome and Introductions Question: What are the Barriers for Paraprofessionals to Become Teachers? Partner Share Program Presentations Focus on 5 Key Program Components JET Program Evaluation Model and Key Findings How could you use the data from this presentation to advance your work with paraprofessionals? Closing Thoughts and Door Prize Key Program Components for Both Programs Cohort Model Structured Academic Program with flexibility Dedicated and Consistent Advising and Support Financial Aid Partnerships with Districts and Schools Program Models Bridge to Teaching (BTT), Northeastern University, College of Professional Studies The Bridge to Teaching is a degree completion and a licensure program. The BTT Program is designed for teacher assistants and instructional paraprofessionals who are currently in practice, have earned an associate degree (or its equivalent), and wish to enter the teaching force. Graduates of the program receive a Bachelor of Science in Liberal Studies and the preparation for initial licensure, according to Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education state guidelines. Journey into Education and Teaching (JET), CUSP, UMass Dartmouth JET is an accelerated dual degree BA/MAT program for Paraprofessionals without a bachelor s degree to become licensed teachers in high need elementary schools of Fall River and New Bedford. The JET program is funded by a 5 year Transition to Teaching Grant from the U.S. Department of Education to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. The JET program is a partnership with The Center for University, School and Community Partnerships (CUSP) at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (UMD), Bristol Community College (BCC), and the Fall River and New Bedford public schools. JET participants obtain their Associates degree in Elementary Education from BCC and then through an Articulation Agreement transfer as a cohort to UMD, where they earn a Bachelor s degree in Liberal Arts and an MAT in Elementary. JET participants can enter the program at any stage of their undergraduate studies.
