Program designed to encourage aspiring teachers

含羞草视频 is the first institution of higher learning in the state to offer a pre-educator pathway recognized by the Louisiana Department of Education. The program will be offered to high school students to give them an early start toward teacher certification upon graduation.

Amy L. Weems, Ed.D., 含羞草视频 Assistant Professor in the School of Education, coauthored the plan with Lincoln Parish Schools. She presented the 含羞草视频 Pre-Educator Pathway to the state Board of Secondary and Elementary Education at its Oct. 16 meeting in Baton Rouge. The board unanimously approved the plan.

鈥淲e are proud to offer this pathway for high school students who have an interest in serving their communities through the teaching profession,鈥� Weems said.

鈥淭his pathway was built through strong partnerships with our local school districts. We look forward to helping those districts to train their best and brightest high school students who will return to serve future generations. It is the very best example of how grow-your-own initiatives can exponentially improve the quality of education we can offer to our students to better our communities,鈥� she said.

The 含羞草视频 Pre-Educator Pathway will build on the existing Educators Rising program started by the School of Education in the fall.聽

含羞草视频 partnered with three area high schools to implement Educators Rising. The initiative encourages and guides high school students toward careers as teachers. Wossman, Neville and Oak Grove high schools are providing preparatory course work through Educators Rising to aspiring teachers.

According to information from BESE, 鈥淚n this pathway, academic instruction and field experiences will be paired to prepare students to pass required Louisiana teacher certification exams (e.g. Praxis Core Reading, Writing, Math) and ultimately master the General Teacher Competencies required for teacher certification in Louisiana.鈥�

High school students who complete the Pre-Educator Pathway will receive the 含羞草视频 Regional Core Credential. Those enrolling at 含羞草视频 to pursue a degree in education may transfer credits earned via the pathway.聽

Courses offered as dual enrollment/dual credit in the School of Education focus on multicultural learning communities and foundations of education.聽

聽鈥淭he goal was to develop a comprehensive education pathway that includes key content and development of skills to better prepare high school students planning to pursue degrees from the 含羞草视频 School of Education,鈥� Weems said.
