The Teacher Cadet Program is an innovative approach designed to attract talented young people to the teaching profession through a challenging introduction to teaching. The Program seeks to provide high school students insight into the nature of teaching, the problems of schooling and the critical issues affecting the quality of education in America's schools. The primary goal of the Teacher Cadet Program is to encourage students who possess exemplary interpersonal, academic and leadership skills to consider teaching as a career.
An important secondary goal of the Program is to provide these talented future community leaders with insights about teachers and schools so that they will be civic advocates of education.
Teacher Cadet (TC) is an honors high school curriculum developed and licensed by the South Carolina Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, and Advancement (CERRA). Schools may implement the program by selecting a qualified teacher to complete the Colorado summer Teacher Cadet training. Reimbursement is available through CVA funds and Carl Perkins Federal Funding if the program becomes an approved program through the Colorado Community College System (CCCS).   |
