Program Description

The Teaching Professions’ program is designed for students who are interested in a teaching, school administration, or guidance counseling career. This career pathway will help students learn more about future career options, while their field experience and coursework provide a solid foundation for a successful teaching career. Students will develop a professional portfolio that will summarize their field and classroom experiences. Due to the high percentage of teachers approaching retirement age in the next 5 years, it is estimated that more than 2.5 million teachers will be needed in the U.S. and about 57,000 K-12 openings in Ohio.
