Here's the thing. The teacher shortage everyone's trying to fix? The answer is already in the building. Paraprofessionals show up every day, with the kids, doing the work. Underpaid. Overlooked. Qualified in practice, but stopped on paper by one exam.

I spent a decade as a Professor of Education at the University of Central Florida, and a decade before that in the classroom as a social science teacher. In 2015 I founded The Learning Liaisons and helped more than 70,000 educators pass high-stakes certification exams. I kept watching good people walk away from a career they wanted, because nobody taught them how to compete on test day.

So I built ParaReady. Not a way to game the Praxis ParaPathways. A way to prepare for it the way an athlete prepares for game day. Strategy over memorization. Short video lessons taught like a coach across the table from you. A community, and a Pass Guarantee, because the stakes here are a job and a paycheck.
