SVVSD wins $100K grant to help more paraeducators get teaching degrees
St. Vrain Valley recently was awarded a $100,000 Early Milestones Grant to expand its Pathways to Teaching, or P-TEACH program. The grant will allow the district to offer early childhood college classes to more of its paraeducators, as well as provide a full-time counselor to support those in the program.
This is the district’s third Early Milestones Grant for the concurrent enrollment P-TEACH program, which was started to encourage students to go into education to address teacher shortages, as well as to increase the number of teachers of color.
