Pathway Summary
The K-12 Teacher Academy is a three course program that prepares students for careers in elementary and secondary education. Students observe teachers and their classrooms at a variety of grade levels and settings. They observe teachers working with special needs children, both in and out of the classroom. These observations offer students practical experiences while enriching their learning. During their senior year, students participate in a long-term placement with a BSD teacher where they gain in-depth experiences in a classroom setting. When a student successfully completes the pathway, they can enter the DelTech Education Program with advanced standing. Students can earn three credits in the DelTech course, Child Development.
