What is GO CAPS Teacher Education?

To understand GO CAPS Teacher Education, you must first understand what GO CAPS is. GO CAPS (the Greater Ozarks Centers for Advanced Professional Studies) is an innovative program for high school juniors and seniors attending participating high schools. Students are able to test drive their future careers through real-world, hands-on experiences.

The Teacher Education strand aims to help students with an interest in teaching learn more about a wide range of career opportunities, both inside and outside of traditional classrooms. Students in this strand will:

tour schools
observe classrooms with students ages birth through adult
gain hands-on experiences through practicums
hear from some of the most knowledgeable experts in our region
visit colleges to learn about education majors and more
complete real-world projects that solve real-world educational problems
connect with students and network with school faculty
make friends, have fun, learn, connect, grow, laugh, and more!

Teacher Education Newsletters
