Lamar CISD to Host 2023 Job Fair Featuring Grow Your Own Programs

May 03, 2023 | Lamar CISD Communications

As many school districts are facing staff shortages, Lamar CISD continues to take a proactive approach with “Grow Your Own” initiatives that provide employees with rewarding opportunities to develop professional skills and certifications for continued education. 

The District will host a Job Fair to hire teachers, librarians, counselors, teacher aides, and more on Thursday, May 11 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Reading Junior High located at 8101 FM 762, Richmond, Texas 77469. Representatives from District campuses, iTeach, University of Houston – Victoria, and the District’s Talent Development Department will be in attendance.

Some professional development programs offered by the District include: 

  • iTeach for employees seeking alternative certification 

  • University of Houston-Victoria Jags Teach provides a student-teacher residency  

  • University of Houston-Victoria Voice Program is an accelerated certification program 

  • Grand Canyon University cohorts for Bachelor and Doctoral candidates 

  • Highly Qualified Paraprofessional Academy which is a comprehensive training event 

  • University of Houston - Victoria fast-track master's cohort hybrid program for a Master of Education in Administration and Texas Principal Certification 

Recently, the first iTeach cohort member and paraprofessional Melissa Carpenter was offered a teaching position at Leaman Junior High.  

Carpenter’s Principal Stacy Boarman said, “Part of being a leader at Lamar CISD is having a passion for people by developing self and others. When I heard about the opportunity to help our talented paraprofessionals become certified teachers, I knew I had to encourage Melissa to get involved.  I know she is going to have a positive impact and will truly make a difference for those who will be fortunate enough to call her ‘teacher’.”
