Aspiring Educators

The Aspiring Educators Living Learning Community brings together students who want to explore careers working in K-12 education and are passionate about making a difference in the lives of children and youth.

 

Partnering with the Graduate School’s Teacher Education program, Aspiring Educators will connect with like-minded LC students, have opportunities to explore options for serving young people in schools and communities, and network with local educators.

• Gain hands-on classroom experience in K-12 schools or other educational settings.
• Visit local school districts.
• Learn about different areas of the teaching profession.
• Connect with others at LC interested in exploring careers in education.
• Attend exclusive events and activities to support your growth as a future educator.
• Engage in networking opportunities with the Teacher Education faculty, staff, and students on the graduate campus.
• And more!

• Gain an understanding of teaching as a profession.
• Develop an appreciation and understanding of social justice and inclusion as it relates to the teaching profession.
