State think tanks like the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and Oregon's Cascade Policy Institute have derided the typical teacher certification process as "the single greatest barrier that prevents some of the best and brightest people from choosing the teaching profession."

The overriding goal of the University of Southern California Rossier School of Education Latino and Language Minority Teacher Projects ( L mtp ) is to increase the number of Latinos(as) and language minorities in the teaching profession by creating a career track for practicing language minority paraeducators. The primary strategy in achieving this goal is to provide support and assistance, financially, socially and academically to promising paraeducators to enable them to successfully complete a teacher education program and become successful bilingual teachers. The information gained through this process continues to be disseminated to other institutions, both public and private, with the intent of building the capacity to continue and expand the program both statewide and nationally. (See our National Clearinghouse for Paraeducator Resources and the Electronic Discussion Forum on Paraeducators School reformers have often pointed to the lack of synchrony between home and school culture as well as the striking discontinuity between teacher and student diversity as significant obstacles to minority student achievement. By diversifying the teaching force paraeducators have the potential to become the ideal teachers of our nation's students. The participants in the L mtp projects are employed bilingual paraeducators who work daily in classrooms of eligible schools throughout the Los Angeles area while attending classes full time at participating Project universities. To maintain eligibility in the project and meet California certification requirements, participants must have a GPA that places them in the top half of their college cohort and make steady progress toward program completion.
