The Careers in Education Program is a two year curriculum that provides high school students with classroom experiences that will enable them to make informed decisions regarding careers in education and begin training in the field of education. Students will learn about growth and development during the early childhood years and apply what they have learned through hands-on, real-life experiences in our state-licensed preschool, Tots-N-Teens Preschool.
During the second year, students may have the opportunity to participate in a “Capstone Experience” where they will be placed as interns at elementary or middle school classrooms and experience a special education setting. Students will begin working towards the CDA (Child Development Associates Credential/Certificate) and complete a Professional Portfolio.
