Description:
The Arizona FEA in partnership with Arizona State University hosted the 2008 Hunnicutt
Future Educator's Academy, June 9-13, 2008 @ ASU. We had 20 students for
the week long "live -in academy. The purpose of this event was to provide
extensive training to "future teachers". The age group was junior and senior high school
students. We provided a variety of activities and experiences including sessions on:
technology, special education, effective lesson plans, speech pathology, classroom management
as well as a site visit to an all technology school in the valley. Students were divided
into 3 faculty groups and their task was to design the "school of the
future" - what will education look like 5-10 years from now and what tools will teachers need to teach in the
future. Each faculty group was supervised by a college student from the college of
education at ASU. Each faculty presented their school on Friday, June 13th with special key
note speakers Tome Horne - Arizona Superintendent for Public Instruction & Dr. Karen Nicodemus
- Pres. of Arizona School Board, P-20 Council and Pres. of Cochise College. Students
identified the
facility design, curriculum, extra curricular activities, career &
technical programs, business partnerships, leadership training and staff development among
other areas of school operation. This is the 4th year for our summer camp and students come away
with a broader sense of teaching and a passion to pursue a teaching career as well as
explore educational issues and trends for the future. This has been an excellent recruitment
mtool for educational careers in Arizona. |
