The field of education is growing and changing dramatically in New Hampshire and across this country. With the increasing demand for childcare providers, teachers, educational assistants, child psychologists, and social workers, there has never been a greater need for well-trained professionals.
Our Teacher Education Program is designed to work with young professionals interested in possibly pursuing a career in the field of education or other child-centered occupations. The curriculum is performance-based and centered on competencies that are central to teachers of the future. Students will have the opportunity to learn about themselves, their leadership qualities, and professional skills as they learn about and work directly with children, in a variety of settings. As students progress in the program, they will increase their understanding of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed in educational careers through:
-
Action Research: students will explore contemporary issues in education that may impact their learning and future work
-
Career awareness: develop a clear understanding of their career interests and identify the skills they will need to be successful
-
Work with children in a variety of settings: from observing children, tutoring children at different levels, shadowing teachers in classrooms, lesson planning for a variety of classroom ages, internships in local educational settings, our program participants will develop their skills through the courses we have designed.

Advisory Committee
Advisory committees serve the CTE programs by acting as liaison between the educational institution and the public. The prinicipal purpose for CTE program/advisory committees is to promote greater cooperation between career and technical education and the private sector in preparing individuals for employment, promoting quality career and technical education and making the career technical education system more responsive to the labor market.
CTE program/advisory committees have three major roles. They are to advise, assist and provide support and advocacy for quality career and technical education. It is through these roles that CTE program/advisory committees work with instructors and administrators to initiate policies, procedures and methods that help strengthen and modernize career and technical education.
Improving the quality of career and technical education can be directly linked to the degree of involvement, participation and commitment of the CTE program/advisory committees. If you would like to be involved in shaping the future of education at MWVCTC and have the skills/background to benefit the Teacher Education Program, please email Ms. Murphy for more information.
