As North Texas school districts struggle with staffing shortages, Dallas College is kicking off a first-of-its-kind teacher apprenticeship program to help get well-trained educators into classrooms.
The goal is to not only help students who want to become teachers, but also districts who are having a hard time filling positions.
Dawes, a mother of two, is currently getting her Bachelor's degree in early childhood education at Dallas College. In a more traditional program, the only way to get that critical classroom experience is as an unpaid student teacher. This apprenticeship gives Dawes the chance to earn $30,000 a year to work at school while completing her degree.
RISD is the first school district to join the program. For a year, the apprentices will spend three days a week in a Richardson school as classroom interns, one day as a substitute teacher, and the final day doing coursework at the college.
