JET is a proven pathway to teaching for paraprofessionals without bachelor's degrees who want to become licensed classroom teachers in their urban community high needs schools. JET fosters a community teacher pipeline of educators who already have substantial classroom experience prior to licensure, reflect the racial, cultural and linguistic diversity of the student population and are committed long term to teaching in their communities. JET is currently working with paraprofessionals in the Boston Public Schools. JET has broad application across Massachusetts and could be expanded to other urban school districts where paraprofessional educators can become a significant part of a community teacher pipeline.
