KGUN 9 recently spoke with recent graduates of the Pathways to Teaching inaugural cohort about how the program — and the $1,000 monthly stipend — helped them accomplish their goals of becoming teachers. KGUN also spoke with Pathways to Teaching Director Marcy Wood about future plans for the program.

After a successful first cohort with Sunnyside Unified School District, the Pathways to Teaching program is planning to expand to other school districts, like Oracle, Sierra Vista and Casa Grande, next year.
