    *2019 Spring Shepherd University Careers in Teacher Education

    Each semester, Shepherd University's Educator Preparation Program hosts "ExCITEd about Shepherd," a Careers in Teacher Education event for high school students, grades 9 to 12, who are interested in exploring a major in early, elementary or secondary education.  This day-long event involves opportunities to get information about applying, being admitted and residence life.  More importantly it gives potential new educators a chance to participate in education classes, meet with education specialization coordinators, spend time with current teacher candidates, and learn important tips from those candidates about what to expect as a new college student and how to be successful in a teacher education program.

     Please mark March 1, 2019 on your school calendar and consider participating.  A flyer with the anticipated schedule and a registration form are attached.  Please note that parking on campus is limited and if at all possible, drop off and pick up is preferred to students driving themselves.  Also, students will be eating in the dining hall and will need to bring $7.50 to pay for an all you can eat lunch.

     We look forward to being able to host some of your students at Shepherd on this day.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

     Sincerely,

     LeAnna A. Johnson, Ph.D.
