Registered Apprenticeship Program (EnrichED Pathways)

Deer Park ISD is creating its own pipeline for aspiring educators by launching a unique teacher apprenticeship program in Fall 2024 for a multitude of positions that will provide hands-on experience in our K-12 classrooms.

Designed to attract and assist aspiring teachers for employment, the apprenticeship program will pair successful applicants with experienced mentor teachers while they complete a degree and certification requirements, and earn valuable on-the-job educator training.

The goal of the apprenticeship program will be to support developing teachers throughout, or up to four years of education. Apprentices, or resident educators, will receive on-the-job training so when they enter the classroom as a teacher, they will not only have a degree and certification but also enhanced pedagogical skills.

****Applicants must attach a current resume, letter of recommendation to participate in the program and college transcripts if applicable in order to be considered for the program. Applications that do not include these items will not be considered.

The application process for the program is now closed.  The screening and selection process for the 2024-2025 applicants has begun.  Applications for the 2025-2026 cohort will be available in the Spring of 2025.
