East Stroudsburg University will host over 100 high school students who are a part of the College of Education\u2019s Aspiring Educator Pathway Program (AEPP) for a conference to learn more about education as a profession while having an opportunity to experience life on a college campus and connect with current teacher candidates.<\/p>\n
The high school students will participate in a conference on Wednesday, April 10 from 9:30 a.m. \u2013 1 p.m. \u201cDuring the day they will be engaged with a dynamic, experience-rich training that champions cultural diversity and inclusivity,\u201d said Brooke Langan Ed.D., dean of ESU\u2019s College of Education. \u201cWe want to foster a learning environment where students\u2019 backgrounds and experiences are valued and integrated into the educational experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
To do that, the aspiring educators will participate in two sessions. The first, on creativity and engagement, will focus on engaging a teen mindset, creative teaching, the art of student engagement, and taking a teaching challenge. The second, on culturally relevant education, will focus on meeting diverse needs in the classroom, diversity and inclusion in school settings, integrating current culture into today\u2019s classroom, and self-identification to support diversity in the classroom.<\/p>\n
The vision of ESU\u2019s AEPP is to proactively combat the education workforce shortage, by working collaboratively with local school entities and community partners in the development of future teacher clubs and developing cohorts of students to learn more about the profession of education.<\/p>\n
