Future Educators is a program of study for students interested in building professional pathways for future careers as pre-K-12 teachers, school counselors, paraprofessionals, school administrators…Students are dually enrolled at both LCTI and LCCC, where they take on-site classes such as EDU 114- Careers in Education, EDU 101- Foundations of Education, and EDU 105- Introduction to Special Education. In the classroom setting at LCTI, students work on building a foundation of understanding of different roles in education, the history of American education, stages of human development, understanding diverse learners, planning and instructional methods, as well as tools for classroom management and technology for instruction. In addition, students gain hands-on experience by spending time in PreK-12 classrooms within the Lehigh Valley school districts, and initiate planning for the future by visiting and learning about local colleges and universities, and spending time with LCTI alumni.
