Teacher Apprenticeship Program in Pinellas County looks to build up teacher pipeline

A new Teacher Apprenticeship Program in collaboration with St. Petersburg College and Pinellas County Schools is looking to build up the pipeline of teachers. If you ask Tamara McKinney or Michelle Beamon, they’ll tell you they wouldn’t work anywhere else. McKinney has been a paraprofessional at the Nina Harris ESE Center for ten years, while Beamon, a medical behavioral associate, has worked with kids and young adults with special needs for 30 years.
