As of now, 11 students are taking the course, and the enrollment cap is set at 20. The course, credited as a high school elective, is part of the students\u2019 high school schedule and covers the history and present state of the education profession and the different career options within teaching. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students will practice the craft by teaching each other and instructing peers in other classrooms later in the year. Those in the academy will learn the ethical values and laws involved with teaching and the steps required to become a teacher. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Participants must have a minimum 3.0 unweighted GPA, a commitment to their academic studies and the education profession and must also satisfy the dual enrollment requirements. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After fulfilling the research component, students from 10th to 12th grade will be able to take dual enrollment courses at MDC considered prerequisites for a bachelor\u2019s in education, including introduction to the teaching profession, introduction to diversity, introduction to early childhood education and introduction to special education. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer enrichment programs at the College will offer the opportunity to meet students who are part of the School of Education and learn more about the baccalaureate program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next school year, students will volunteer by teaching at Miami Springs elementary and middle school to contribute in schools in their community and gain hands-on experience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;We&#8217;re seeking to create a full pipeline from Miami-Dade County Public Schools to Miami Dade College School of Education and then back as teachers in Miami Dade County Public Schools,&#8221; said Susan Neimand, director of the School of Education. \u201cA lot of people are still going to want to become teachers despite the criticism against teachers and\u2026the fact that some think that it&#8217;s a very low salary.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neimand refutes that the pay is low. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd when you see the look on somebody&#8217;s eyes when you have revealed something to them&#8230;there&#8217;s nothing more gratifying than looking at that person and knowing you helped improve their lives, and that&#8217;s why people become teachers,\u201d Neimand said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Critical shortage areas are in mathematics, biology and early childhood. However, students are given freedom to first explore teaching in general and later choose whichever path they wish to take. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are plans to expand the program. Leadership at Felix Varela Senior High School and John A. Ferguson Senior High School have expressed interest in the academy, and meetings are taking place to start the program in those schools in the near future. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEveryone remembers a teacher in their lives, who guided them and in some way made them who they are today,\u201d Zapata said. \u201cAnd every other profession, every successful person, is there because of a teacher that made that difference.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an effort to alleviate the teacher shortage in Miami-Dade County Public Schools and encourage young students to pursue careers in education, the Miami Dade College School of Education launched a brand new teaching academy at Miami Springs Senior High School.
