P-TEACH aims to inspire and prepare future educators

The P-TEACH program is inspiring and preparing the next generation of educators right here in Adams 12 Five Star Schools. Through concurrent enrollment courses with CU Denver, students gain early college credit while learning from exemplary teachers within our schools. Participants also engage in hands-on internship experiences, honing their skills and passion for teaching.

Not only are we inspiring high school students, but P-TEACH has also opened doors for our paraeducators, instructional classified staff, and BASE employees to pursue their passion for education and take steps toward teacher licensure. As a new initiative, P-TEACH aims to be a transformational force in shaping the future of education in the Five Star District.
