The Teacher Cadet course introduces juniors and seniors to a career in teaching and education.

The internship may involve the preschool level through 12th grade. Students enrolling in this course should have a GPA of 3.0 or higher, teacher recommendations, and/or approval of the instructor.
Students successfully completing this course may be eligible to earn a Career and Technical Education diploma seal.
