Educator Academy

Students in the Educator Academy program are paired with mentor teachers to provide experiences in all aspects of school-related activities from board and parent/teacher meetings to classroom and professional development. In a process based on interviews, discussions, portfolios of student work, demonstrations, field trips, and actual teaching experiences, students will gain a realistic understanding of teaching as a career. This is a state-approved course aligned to entry-level standards, career & employability standards, technical standards, pathway standards, and technology standards. Students will have a different placement each trimester or semester (with a different age group/level) and spend approximately 10 hours each week working with their mentor (host) teacher.
