Lake County Schools highlights teacher-pipeline gains: UCF educator-plus interns hired, Lake–Sumter bachelor’s program wins State Board approval
Summary
Lake County Schools officials said Monday that three educator-plus interns have been offered instructional roles, supervising teachers will receive $500 stipends from the Education Foundation, and the State Board of Education approved a new Lake–Sumter bachelor’s program in exceptional student education that will use Lake Hill School as a lab site.
Lake County Schools officials said Monday that multiple steps to expand the local teacher pipeline are moving forward: three educator-plus interns have been offered instructional roles in the district, supervising teachers received stipends funded by the Education Foundation of Lake County, and the State Board of Education unanimously approved a Lake–Sumter State College proposal to launch a bachelor’s degree in exceptional student education that will use Lake Hill School as a lab site.
Why this matters: The measures aim to increase the number of qualified classroom teachers — especially in hard-to-fill exceptional student education roles — by training and transitioning local paraprofessionals and interns into full instructional positions.
