Career Cluster: Education
The Education Career Cluster emphasizes high-quality learning and lifelong growth by building knowledge, skills, and critical thinking. Students prepare for careers that support learning from early childhood through adulthood, including teaching, instructional design, counseling, community engagement, learner support, and educator training.
Learning Plans
Engage to Empower
Students research effective teaching strategies, design engaging lessons for a Pre-K–12 audience based on their interests, share and refine ideas with peers, and present final activities to school stakeholders.
Activate Your Body, Activate Change, Activate Your Future
This plan helps students address rising adolescent obesity, diabetes, and heart disease by promoting physical activity, nutrition, and mental wellness. They research and develop a product or service to encourage healthy habits, gaining awareness of health careers and practical insights into the industry.
Operation TEACH
Students research the career of teaching, determine a solution for retaining effective teachers, and create a presentation about their solution. They will present their solution to school administrators and/or school board members.
Edutainment
Students work in pairs or small groups to use the engineering design process to research, design, and create a toy or web-based game/app that both teaches age-appropriate skills or information and provides suitable play for young children.
