Aiken’s Career Tech Education Rising program is a career pathway for students looking to become early-childhood teachers, elementary/high teachers or coaches. This Career Tech pathway is
connected with Miami University (OH). Mr. Schaefer, an Aiken Educator, said, “Our Career Tech program coupled with Miami’s TEACH program will allow students who receive a GPA of a 3.0 or above, will be rewarded with a Scholarship to pursue a career in education.” This is an excellent way for students who are looking to become teachers after high school to endeavor in college, debt free. It also keeps the student challenged.
After speaking with Mr. Prince, who’s a Miami Teach Educator, says, “The education system is crumbling.” This program with Miami University can inspire students to become teachers and fall in
love with teachings. The program gives students insight on what it’s like to become a teacher. Miami Teach encourages diversity in the teaching profession. With the Miami Teach program, it will do just that and enable motivation within the students.
