The Education Pathway will introduce students to the skills, knowledge and responsibilities of being a teacher and a leader. The pathway is focused on developing leadership, organization, thinking, research and public speaking skills.

It is ideal for anyone who wants to make a difference in the lives of others, or just enjoys helping people. You do not need to want to become a teacher in order to join this pathway.

You DO need to enjoy working together with other students and participating in partner and group activities and assignments. You should also have an interest in developing your leadership skills by through projects and/or presentations to help and/or inform others.

Skills we build in the Education Pathway:

• Leadership

• Communication skills (speaking, writing, reading, listening)

• Organization & Time Management

• Problem-solving

By participating in our program, you will feel more confident about yourself and your abilities, be a part of a supportive cohort of classmates, and better prepared for your life after high school.

Aside from jobs and careers related to education (teacher, counselor, athletic coach, principal, etc.), this pathway is designed to help any student who is not sure of their career choice, but would like to develop leadership skills and be of service to others.

The skills learned in this pathway will support careers in law, social work, counseling, therapy, psychology, protective services and management.

All you need is an interest in helping others and the desire to make a positive difference.
