“The Education and Training career cluster prepares learners for postsecondary credentials and careers as educators, administrators, trainers, counselors, and other related learning support services.  Teaching as a Profession prepares students for postsecondary credentials and careers in Education and Training services, learners will study and demonstrate components of instruction, teaching strategies, types of assessment, student learning, special populations, educational technology, classroom management, lesson planning, professionalism, human development, and more. With an increased focus in the development of effective teachers, equity and equality, and the growing percentage of educator services needed in careers, the importance of “Grow Your Own” educators in school districts has become a vital discussion topic. The programs of study in the Education and Training career cluster can help districts fill the educator gaps.”  Source: TN CTE Website
