Explore and experience the educational system from teaching to administration. In addition to instruction and seminars at the high school, students will intern with a mentor teacher at an elementary or middle school. Throughout the year, students participate in the inner-workings of the classroom, school and district. They will gain knowledge and experience in teamwork, time management, communication, leadership, and current issues in the school system. This course is a “must” for students interested in a professional career in education.
