Ready Set TEACH

Ready Set Teach is a field-based internship (double-blocked, weighted elective class) that provides students background knowledge of child development principles as well as principles of effective teaching and training practices. Students work under the joint direction and supervision of both their high school teacher and a mentor teacher at the elementary school level. Students learn to plan and direct individualized instruction and group activities, prepare instructional materials, assist with record keeping, and complete other responsibilities of classroom teachers, teacher assistants, or other educational personnel. 

The program consists of two levels: Ready Set Teach 1 (first year students in the program) and Ready Set Teach 2 (second year students in the program).

The Elementary Schools that we currently work with are: Baranoff, Baldwin, Bear Creek, Clayton, Kiker, and Mills.

Any Sophomore or Junior who has taken Child Development (2023-2024) or Human Growth & Development (after the 2024-2025 school year) and passed with a 70.
