Educator Preparation

Educator Preparation is a pathway for students in the Education and Training career cluster. The Educator Preparation program is a high school program with courses designed to attract students to the field of education, to provide information and field experiences relevant to pursuing a degree in education, and to prepare students for the rigors of a career in education so they will remain long-term educators.

Educator Preparation I will help students gain foundation competencies related to students as learners, planning and assessing teaching, teaching strategies, and communication skills.
