Pre-Teacher Academy

A teacher in a dress shirt works one-on-one with a student in a classroom, reviewing worksheets and an open book near a shelf of children’s books.

Are you curious about teaching as a career or eager to explore what it means to teach, learn, and lead? Join us for the Pre-Teacher Academy, a weeklong immersive program designed for future educators and those considering the teaching profession.

Teacher is explaining something to a student sitting down with her laptop in front of her.

Participants will:

  • Explore Teaching as a Career: Gain insights into teaching as a professional path and what it means to “know your students.”
  • Develop Key Skills: Take part in mini-courses focused on understanding the teaching profession, lesson planning, and classroom dynamics.
  • Apply Knowledge in Practice: Create and deliver engaging, student-centered lessons, building confidence and experience in a supportive environment.

This program is offered in collaboration with the Summer Literacy Program and epiSTEMic Summer, providing participants with the opportunity to connect with real-world teaching experiences and interdisciplinary approaches.

The Pre-teacher Academy will run during Session I: Sunday, July 12 – Saturday, July 18, 2026. Apply Today!
