District associate teacher recognized as ATPE Associate Educator of the Year Award
After years of serving in childcare, as a paraprofessional, and in intervention support, Ashlee Galvan stepped into her own classroom through CCISD’s Associate Teacher program. Her dedication and perseverance were honored in 2025 when she was named the ATPE Charles Pickitt Associate Educator of the Year.
The Associate Teacher program addresses teacher shortages by allowing individuals with bachelor’s degrees to take fulltime teaching roles while working toward certification. With mentorship at its core, the program ensures that associate teachers have the support and training needed to succeed in the classroom. Recruitment and retention coordinator Diana Ybarra, a longtime ATPE member, stresses that the goal is not just to recruit but also to retain teachers by providing a clear pathway to long-term success. Galvan’s story was recently highlighted in ATPE News. Read the full article online.
