ROPESS Multilingual Educator Opportunity
Stoughton Public Schools, through a partnership with the Brockton Public Schools, is participating in a Federal Consortium Grant that will allow selected Multilingual SPS educators with a background in education (paraprofessional, teacher, etc.) and selected Multilingual community members who hold a teaching or content degree here or in another country, the ability to take courses, take the ESL MTEL and achieve the Bilingual Endorsement through UMASS Lowell.
