  • Training students today to become teachers and future leaders through the Urban Teaching Academy Program (U.T.A.P.). U.T.A.P. provides a rigorous curriculum and extensive field experience to prepare highly qualified candidates to enter the teaching profession. Students are given actual “hands-on” opportunities to teach primary or secondary school students under the leadership of experienced teachers. Students will have an opportunity for scholarships when involved in the professional organization Future Educators Association.

    The vision is for students to complete a four-year program that they matriculate thoroughly prepared for the 21st century workplace. In order for students to become college and career ready, the following steps must be taken into action:

    • Field experience and apprenticeship opportunities through community partnerships

    • College/university tours to observe the academic and social life of postsecondary education

    • Supportive and well-trained personnel that are committed to the vision of training future teachers and managers

    • Incorporating technology that drives instruction and promotes obtaining industry certifications

    • Preparing students for college by infusing national achievement testing strategies into the curriculum

    OPEN HOUSE will take place on Tuesday, January 24, 2023 - 6:30pm
