The Para To Teacher Program is a district-led teacher pipeline program open to any and all SFUSD staff, not just paraeducators. That includes; school site secretaries, bus drivers, coaches and afterschool staff employed at least part time with SFUSD.

We welcome educators who are currently teaching on a substitute, emergency or intern teaching credentials as well as SFUSD staff currently in credential programs. The credential areas we support are: Math, Science, Special Education & Bilingual Education. 

We offer the following:

• Financial support to pay for tuition, fees and textbooks.
• Admission support to enter into a credential program or finish a bachelor's degree.
• An opportunity to join a professional learning community of fellow SFUSD staff also earning a teaching credential.
• Professional development led by veteran SFUSD teachers aligned to all SFUSD resources for new teachers.
