Quote from teacher: "In the Education & Training pathway students have the opportunity to learn and work with all ages of students in and outside of the classroom while demonstrating practical skills to lead in education. The students have the opportunity to work with children in our own Creek Cubs childcare lab, on field trips, and as interns in the local feeder schools. The overall experience leads students to work towards gaining their Educational Aide 1 certification as soon as they graduate with a boost into the higher education world."
Quote from student(s): "Going on field trips with our preschoolers is an awesome experience. Not only do we get to run around and play with them, but we learn to manage a class in an unusual environment."
