The Marshall Independent School District is always working to provide the best educators for our students and the best opportunities for our employees. Together with East Texas Baptist University, Marshall ISD will be providing MAV Paraprofessionals Advancing To Higher Education (MAV PATH) to MISD paraprofessionals. The MAV PATH Program has been established as a pathway for paraprofessionals who have been with the District for at least one year to receive teacher certification. This pathway allows an aide the chance to acquire job-embedded experience as a classroom teacher while completing college credits through ETBU to obtain a college degree with teacher certification at no cost to the employee.
“MISD is thrilled to offer this opportunity to some of our finest paraprofessionals. We believe this is a win-win for all involved. I want to thank Blair Blackburn and his ETBU staff for working with MISD to make this happen.” Marshall ISD Superintendent Dr. Richele Langley said.
The District is excited to partner with ETBU in order to give these staff members this incredible opportunity. It is our desire that this program serves as a catalyst for launching our staff into a fulfilling and successful career in education. Providing additional certified teachers to serve our students helps strengthen our academics allowing MISD to continue to develop the finest citizens and scholars in Texas.
