Teacher & Counselor Summer Externships
The CTAE Resource Network is offering stipends and credit for externship opportunities again this summer to 200 CTAE Teachers and Counselors! Sign up will be by application (not through the website). I have attached the application below. Please remember that the application requires the approval and signatures of both the CTAE Supervisor and CTAE Director. Also new this year: contact with industry and securing a location is the responsibility of the individual teacher.
While past participants are eligible, first preference will be given to teachers and counselors who have not previously participated in externships through the CTAE Resource Network. Applications will be accepted by email until May 1 or until all spots are taken.
An externship is a professional learning opportunity that allows educators to complete a period of service in the workplace. This collaborative experience gives educators and business professionals a structured time to connect with one another for mutual learning so that educators ultimately enhance instructional practices that result in improved student performance.
Mission
The mission of the Work-Based Learning/Youth Apprenticeship Program is to assist in providing a highly trained, technologically sophisticated and career oriented young work force. This is accomplished by developing partnerships between business, industry, students, parents, school systems, coordinators, and post-secondary institutions, which will lead the participating student to meaningful careers.
