We are excited to share the latest updates and highlights of our TCALC Teaching Pathway Program, which provides students with a comprehensive and immersive experience in education through our partnership with Educators Rising. Our students compete at regional, state, and national levels in over 20 teaching areas, with ten placing at the 90% level or higher nationally in the last three years. A standout feature of our program is the hands-on teaching experience at the Kanza Science Park, where students teach STEAM/STEM lessons to 4th and 7th graders in the Topeka school district. Additionally, our students tutor and support elementary classrooms, enhancing their understanding of teaching methods. Each student can earn 3 hours of college credit to Washburn University, setting them on a successful higher education path. Our program also focuses on nurturing well-rounded educators equipped with social-emotional and technological skills. We are proud of the accomplishments and growth of our program and remain committed to shaping the future of education. If you have any questions or would like to learn more, please reach out.
