Future Educators Program

The Future Educators Program at Burlington County Institute of Technology will provide the student with a sound education in both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical experience. This will prepare the student to fulfill a successful professional role working with children, and enter fields of employment that are related to any field of education or continued studies in the field of education. 

The Future Educators Program prepares students for a variety of careers that are related to early childhood education, elementary education or secondary education; a college program in Early Childhood, Elementary Education, or Secondary Education and a successful role in the community. Students will have an on-site laboratory experience in our preschool and field experiences in elementary and secondary classrooms throughout the county. 

Laboratory and classroom experiences will focus on childhood development, health, nutrition and safety, lesson planning, preparing the classroom learning environment, and career preparation in the education field. Students will prepare a professional portfolio of resources to be used both on the job and as an aid in further education and training.
