The Commission on Teacher Credentialing is offering new openings in the Fresno/Clovis Paraprofessional Program offered in partnership with California State University, Fresno. However, the time-line for participant selection is short.

The Paraprofessional Program offers assistance with tuition and books for classified employees in positions that provide direct instructional services. The intent of the program is to increase the number of paraprofessionals who qualify to teach subjects and grade levels where qualified applicants are in short supply (such as special education, math and science). Participants commit to teaching locally for the number of years they receive program support. Although substantial financial assistance is provided, it may not cover all educational expense.

Participants become part of a cohort and attend professional development one Saturday per month. Additional support is provided through the Office of Teacher Recruitment in the Kremen School of Education and Human Development. Participants must have 60 units or more of college credit and qualify for admission to California State University, Fresno.
