Weโre proud to partner with Pecos-Barstow-Toyah ISD as they welcome their second Teacher Apprenticeship Program cohort!
This is what building a sustainable teacher pipeline looks like: identifying future teachers already serving students, creating an accessible pathway to the profession, and giving employees the opportunity to earn their degree while gaining meaningful on-the-job training and experience!
Through its Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship Program, PBTISD is investing in its people and preparing the next generation of educators!
Congratulations to these 13 future teachers and to PBTISD for continuing to grow and strengthen its teacher pipeline.
Pecos is growing its own. ๐๐ฆ

PBTISD is proud to welcome the second cohort of our Teacher Apprenticeship Program, giving 13 current employees a pathway to become certified teachers while continuing to work and serve students right here in our district.
Through partnerships with Western Governors University and edwell, these future educators will earn their degrees, gain hands-on classroom experience and receive mentorship along the way โ all while remaining part of Eagle Nation.
Grow here. Teach here. Stay here.
