Educational Careers

1 or 2 Year Program

In the Educational Careers program, students will study the history, development, organization, and practices of preschool, elementary, and secondary education. They will learn presentation, public speaking, writing, communication, and reasoning skills. Students will be placed in preschool, elementary, or middle school classrooms in their local district to work alongside a teacher. The program will expose students to general education, special education, and career technical education. All Educational Careers students must provide their own transportation to placement sites. Successful completion of this program will result in a "pre-teaching" portfolio. Students will work towards the CDA and/or MISAYD certifications.
