¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ

¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ’s Teacher Academy Partnership is designed to offer high school ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs meaningful opportunities to explore a career in education. Miami collaborates with local high schools to develop advanced curriculum that aligns closely with its Introduction to Education and Educational Psychology courses.

A dedicated liaison between ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ and the Teacher Academies works directly with academy instructors, supports ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs by answering questions about higher education and degree pathways, and helps coordinate campus visits. These visits give ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs a first-hand look at college life and provide valuable insights into what it means to pursue a degree in education.

The goal of the partnership is to help ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵs envision themselves in college and prepare them for a successful journey toward earning a degree and teacher licensure.

We prepare future and current teachers who design and implement culturally and contextually relevant curriculum and pedagogy. Empowered by a critical and substantive understanding of research, these teachers are positioned to confront social issues, apply global perspectives, and actively participate in a democratic society.

What we aim to foster in our teaching candidates:

• Become critically conscious curriculum makers.
• Work in solidarity within community contexts.
• Develop a critical lens to see power and privilege and the consequences within and beyond educational contexts.
• Build intellectual framing/lens toward various ways of being (knowing, learning, reflecting, and acting) as pedagogues.

• High School Visits, Events, and Campus Visits to ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ
• Opportunities to Engage in Miami ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ before Enrolling
• Guidance on applying to ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ and Scholarship Opportunities
