Within South Harrison Community School Corporation's commitment to education excellence lies a hidden gem – Mrs. Atkins and her transformative Education Pathway Program. This dynamic initiative, shaping future educators, goes beyond textbooks, creating real-world opportunities that set South Harrison students on a path of impact and inspiration.
🍎 Cultivating Classroom Leaders:
At the forefront of this program is the Cadet Teaching initiative, a hands-on experience where students actively contribute to elementary, intermediate, and junior high classrooms. Under Mrs. Atkins' guidance, our aspiring educators provide invaluable support to teachers, engaging in one-on-one and small-group instruction. This immersive approach not only solidifies their understanding of educational principles but fosters a genuine passion for teaching.
📝 Celebrating Future Leaders:
Inspired by the success of Teacher Education Signing ceremonies across Indiana, a tradition that recognizes students committed to careers in education, South Harrison's Board of Trustees followed suit. At a signing ceremony, the Board and Dr. Eastridge committed to graduates who are pursing a degree in education, that they will have a first-round interview for any open position they qualify for at South Harrison. This pact reinforces the significance of their chosen path and celebrates their commitment to shaping young minds.
🎓 Expanding Horizons with IUS:
In a groundbreaking move, the Education Pathway Program at SHCSC is expanding horizons by offering micro-credentials through a partnership with Indiana University Southeast. This innovative collaboration empowers our students to earn specialized certifications, honing their skills in specific areas of education. It's not just a program; it's a journey toward becoming well-rounded, adaptable educators ready to meet the evolving needs of the education landscape.
As we celebrate the strides of South Harrison's Education Pathway Program, we invite you to join us in applauding the dedication of Mrs. Atkins and the aspiring educators she nurtures. Together, we're sowing the seeds of inspiration, cultivating a future where every classroom is led by passionate, skilled educators.
