About The Program

TEACHER CADET – EXPERIENCING EDUCATION

The Teacher Cadet Program is an AP weighted, dual credit course taught in partnership with North Greenville University and is designed to attract talented young people to the teacher profession by exposing them to exciting simulations and hands-on activities. Students are exposed to teaching careers and the educational system through class discussions, observations, and interactions with teachers and administrators. A summative field (practicum) experience allows students to pair with an experienced teacher and apply course concepts.

EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY

This is an AP weighted, dual credit course taught in partnership with North Greenville University. This course focuses on the dynamics of human learning and the psychological principles that serve as the foundation for educational practice. Students will apply concepts, theoretical principles, and research findings from the discipline of psychology in order to plan and implement effective instructional strategies in the classroom. Major emphasis is placed on assisting students in gaining a functional knowledge of ideas explored as students participate in a summative field (practicum) experience.
