Teachers help shape our nation's future by educating our youth. The Teaching Professions program prepares high school students for various careers working with youth and young children. Through in-depth academic studies in child growth and development and foundations of teaching instruction, students gain a solid understanding of the whole child and effective teaching practices. Teaching Professions students work in established local preschool classrooms, elementary, and middle schools to help them gain the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in their chosen field. Students enrolled in this program may be interested in becoming an infant/toddler/preschool teacher, elementary teacher, middle school teacher, or high school teacher. Students may also plan to become social workers, child psychologists, a recreational director, in a before/after school program or own and operate their own childcare business.
