The Teacher Pathway Program (TPP) is our internal pipeline program to help attract and retain members of our community to teach our students. TPP reflects the diversity of our community that we are seeking to bring into our classrooms. TPP is part of a larger, strategic effort to recruit a significant number of effective teachers who represent the diversity within our community. TPP provides participants with guidance and support in various areas which include: becoming a certified paraprofessional, pursuing a college or master’s degree in education, teacher licensure support, professional development, and career advancement opportunities.
Chelsea Public Schools (CPS) invests in higher education of TPP participants who seek to pursue various career pathways in CPS. Our TPP Program consists of 5 pathways: High School to Para, Parent to Para, Para to Teacher, Emerging Teacher to Teacher, and Teacher to Administrator. Being a part of a cohort offers people the necessary support in pursuing the next steps in a career in any of the 5 pathways.
