Brenda Parker
In 2006, avid mountain climbers, Brenda and her husband moved from New Hampshire to Colorado.
Already having a Massachusetts teaching license and four years teaching at an outdoor education center, Brenda needed to obtain a Colorado License.
She chose TILA’s Alternative Licensure program.
”The Alternative License Program offered me a much broader and deeper understanding of the teaching profession. It caused me to reflect on my job, my lessons, and how important I am as a role model for my students. Without a doubt, the year following my program has been my most successful.”
Brenda Parker – June 2007 TILA Graduate

Adam especially appreciated TILA's emphasis on educational leadership.
Starting his journey as a para-professional at a charter school, Adam Paulson’s passion for teaching led him to the Alternative Licensure Program to pursue his certification.
Six years after completing the Program, Adam Paulson is now an 8th Grade History instructor in Southern California.
For his current success, he credits the program’s rigorous portfolio work, on the job training, mentorship and focus on reflection. He especially appreciated the emphasis on educational leadership.
Mr. Paulson is currently completing a Masters program in Education Administration at the Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education in Los Angeles, California. He is excited to accomplish the next milestone in his educational career and remains thankful for the opportunity to participate in the Alternative Licensure Program.
