Teaching as a Profession
Teaching as a Profession prepares students for future positions in the field of education. In Students will be engaged in internship opportunities to teach and observe with a successful mentor teacher.
Course 1: Examining the Teaching Profession
The first course prepares students for future positions in the field of education with a competitive edge for either entry into the education global marketplace and/or the post-secondary institution of their choice to continue their education and training. Students will study, apply, and practice the use of current technologies, effective teaching strategies, learning environments, instrumental opportunities for diverse learners and students with special needs, and plan instruction based on curriculum standards.
Course 2: Contemporary Issues in Education
The second course engages the students in observations, interactions, and analyses of critical and contemporary educational issues. Students will investigate issues influencing the social and political contexts of educational settings in Georgia and the United States. Against this backdrop, the candidate will reflect on and interpret the meaning of education and schooling in a diverse culture and examine the moral and ethical responsibilities of teaching in a democracy.
Course 3. Practicum (Internship)
The third course is a practicum based class that offers students active teaching experience with a certified teacher mentor. Students will observe, analyze and classify activities of their mentors while comparing personal traits with those of successful teachers.
The student interns will:
· Plan and teach lessons
· Understand and practice confidentiality as it pertains to the teaching profession
· Meet the needs of students with special needs
· Practice professionalism and demonstrate ethical behavior
Future Georgia Educators (FGE) is the Career Technical Student Organization (CTSO) for this pathway. Students will have opportunities to compete with other schools in the state and nationally. This CTSO also serves as a networking platform for students and offers scholarships for college.
