Los Angeles Teacher Preparation Pathway (LATPP)
You already make a difference in students’ lives. Now take the next step. Become a fully qualified teacher in special education, math, science, dual language, or Transitional Kindergarten (TK) while you continue working. Add a bilingual authorization if you already teach. LATPP provides coaching, financial aid, and group support.

“I am especially thankful for the helpful content, which really clarified all processes, and the non-judgmental support and access. It was incredibly meaningful in this journey.”

Rebekah Burcham

Students thriving in a bright, engaging and thoughtful classroom.

Clear the Path

You care about students and show up every day. But time, cost and limited  support can make becoming a teacher or advancing in your teaching role difficult. Traditional programs may not fit your schedule or meet the needs of the students you serve.  LATPP is designed to change that. We build on your experience and your community.

​

LATPP does not grant degrees or credentials directly; these are awarded through partner organizations.

Prompted by thoghtful curriculum, students huddle together to collaborate on their work.

The Los Angeles Teacher Preparation Pathway (LATPP)

Is designed for you and the needs of your students—building on your skills and community experience. 

Teacher facilitates student demonstration of learning.

The Need

Every child deserves a great education. Multilingual Learners (MLs) are the fastest-growing group in LA, but they're often overlooked. LATPP is on a mission to give educators like you more tools to support them.

A notecard with the site word "know" is clearly written out, pointed to by a teacher as a student learns to write.

Who Is This For?

You are a good fit if you are already supporting students across LA County schools or Early Childhood  programs. This includes classroom aides, after-school staff, early childhood educators, school support staff, and current teachers.
