The Teacher Academy, which started in 2021, introduces high-school students to the field of education. During the two-year program, participants work with local mentor teachers in school districts throughout Kent County and attend classes and meet with peers at Kent Career Tech Center. Those who complete the program may be eligible for college credit and classroom paraprofessional jobs.
One of our East Grand Rapids High School students, Ayantu Knapp, spoke with School News Network about her Teacher Academy project.
