Representatives from District campuses, iTeach, University of Houston – Victoria, and the District’s Talent Development Department will be in attendance.
-
iTeach for employees seeking alternative certification
- University of Houston-Victoria Jags Teach provides a student-teacher residency
- University of Houston-Victoria Voice Program is an accelerated certification program
- Grand Canyon University cohorts for Bachelor and Doctoral candidates
- Highly Qualified Paraprofessional Academy which is a comprehensive training event

Recently, the first iTeach cohort member and paraprofessional Melissa Carpenter was offered a teaching position at Leaman Junior High.
Carpenter’s Principal Stacy Boarman said, “Part of being a leader at Lamar CISD is having a passion for people by developing self and others. When I heard about the opportunity to help our talented paraprofessionals become certified teachers, I knew I had to encourage Melissa to get involved. I know she is going to have a positive impact and will truly make a difference for those who will be fortunate enough to call her ‘teacher’.”
