Collaborating To See All Children Succeed

Together, We’re Empowering the Next Generation of Educators

Gracelyn University partners with mission-driven organizations like ESC Region 9 to open doors for aspiring educators across the country. Through collaboration, we expand opportunities, strengthen communities, and transform lives—one educator at a time.

Introduction

At Gracelyn University, we know that meaningful transformation happens through partnership. Our mission to empower educators and transform communities is made stronger by strategic collaborations with organizations that share our vision and values.

We are honored to work alongside institutions committed to educational excellence, innovation, and service—particularly those focused on equipping paraprofessionals, childcare workers, and aspiring teachers with the tools they need to thrive.

Together, we are building accessible pathways to teacher certification and professional advancement for those who need it most.

Featured Collaborator
Education Service Center Region 9

Education Service Center Region 9 serves schools across North Texas with a mission to support student achievement through high-quality services and resources for educators, administrators, and school systems.

ESC 9 has been a key partner in our shared effort to:

  • Strengthen the pipeline of qualified teachers in rural and underserved communities
  • Provide affordable, flexible opportunities for paraprofessionals to earn their teaching credentials
  • Equip schools with innovative strategies for growing their own teacher workforce

Their commitment to excellence and regional support makes them a vital part of the educational landscape—and a valued partner in Gracelyn’s work to bring lasting change to classrooms and communities.

“Region 9 ESC and Gracelyn University are partnering to support paraprofessionals in our districts on their journey to becoming teachers who will positively impact the lives of the students they serve.” – Ms. Debbie Cummings, Region 9 ESC
