What if a program
existed that allowed high school
students, tomorrow's leaders, and opportunity to explore teaching as a
career? What a concept! Students get a tremendous education gaining
real-world experience. Project
Tomorrow's YouthTEACH2Learn is that program.
High school students
earn college credits and gain practical experience by observing classrooms,
creating lesson, learning the art and craft of teaching, and participating in
service learning projects. As students consider
a future career as an educator, they have the opportunity to meet and interact
with educators and visit college
campuses. Other student benefits of the
program include developing professional
skills of leadership, collaboration, and public delivery of information.

I'm lovin' the road trip. We've got to get students out of school and into the world to see what the workplace looks like!
ReplyDeleteBeing in the higher education world, I particularily liked that students participating in the YouthTEACH2Learn Program can use it as a means to explore whether they want to pursue education as a major and also earn 3 units of college credit.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. How about coming up with a way for the students to share the experience. A documentary? A running blog?
ReplyDeleteYou sold me. You and Domenica both pointed out this program, one which I had not really noticed. Two of my colleagues received a NSF grant to work on the issue of recruiting, retaining, and sustaining STEM majors. It is a systemic effort beginning with High School Partners. Reading your blog post brought them to mind. So...I forwarded all of this information for them to consider. Thanks for "selling" it to me.
