- Teacher Academy -
The Teacher Academy of Maryland is designed for students who intend to pursue a career as a elementary, middle, or high school teacher. Over the next decade America is projected to need at least 2.4 million new teachers. As a system, Howard County Public Schools welcomes our own graduates back to begin their new careers as educators in our schools. Academy students have the opportunity to conduct formal observations, develop and deliver lesson plans in a K-12 setting, and participate in special events and activities with other future educators. Academy coursework focuses on development and learning theory, positive and effective classroom management and discipline, curriculum delivery models, and the creation of developmentally appropriate curriculum and learning environments. Students in the Teacher Academy of Maryland will have the opportunity to participate in pre-professional development activities including visits to classrooms at the elementary through high school levels, internship experiences providing interaction with students of multiple age levels and in multiple subjects, and conferences and workshops sponsored by and designed for educators.
