Transforming Education in Massachusetts
The Joint Educator Training (JET) program was born from the collaborative efforts of educators at UMass Dartmouth, Bristol Community College, and local school districts. This initiative addresses the pressing teacher shortages and retention challenges in high-need schools. Over the past decade, JET has successfully guided over 110 paraprofessionals towards earning their bachelor’s degrees and teaching licenses, significantly impacting the educational landscape.
Making a Lasting Impact
Currently operating in 13 urban public school districts across Massachusetts, JET is mentoring nearly 100 aspiring teachers. With 63% of participants identifying as people of color, JET is actively working to close the teacher diversity gap while enhancing college outcomes for adult learners. An impressive 70% of participants are on track to achieve their bachelor’s degrees.
