Pathways to Teaching
Become a teacher without leaving home. The Pathways to Teaching program lets aspiring educators across Arizona train in the schools and communities they already call home, no relocating required.
Fast, supported, and built for real life. In just 17 months across four continuous semesters (spring, summer, fall, spring), you'll move from aspiring teacher to classroom leader. Along the way, you'll receive a $1,000 monthly stipend to support you on that journey, and live online classes mean you can complete your coursework without ever leaving your community.
Learn by doing, guided every step of the way. From your very first semester, you're placed in District-partner schools across Arizona, working hands-on with students from diverse linguistic backgrounds and alongside experienced mentor teachers who mentor you through it. It's an integrated approach built to give you the skills and confidence to run a classroom of your own.
If you want to become a teacher in the place you already call home, Pathways is how you get there.
