DESCRIPTION:
Career Paths for the Teaching Profession is a program designed for students who are interested in a teaching, school administration, or guidance counselor career.  This career pathway will help students learn more about future career options, while their internship experience and coursework provide a solid foundation for a successful teaching career.  Students will develop a professional portfolio that will summarize their internship and classroom experiences.  Due to the high percentage of teachers approaching retirement age in the next 10 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.
