Regional Office of Education #11 to Host Future Teacher Night on October 27th
Want to be a teacher? There is no better time than now to take the first step in pursuing the dream of becoming an educator. The teacher shortage is being felt on a national, state, and local level. Our schools need high quality teachers more than ever, in all classroom areas.
ROE #11 is excited to host a future teacher night in an effort to introduce those wanting to join the teaching profession to affordable, flexible teacher preparation programs and begin the journey to a rewarding career as a classroom teacher. Representatives from five teacher preparation universities, which offer alternative routes to teacher licensure, including Eastern Illinois University, Indiana State University, West Florida Teacher Ready, Grand Canyon University, and Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, will be available to answer questions, provide resources, and assist with navigating the path to a professional educator license.
ROE#11 will hold its 2021 Future Teacher Night in open house style with participants encouraged to stop by the stations of the represented universities and find out about the teacher preparation programs they offer. This event will take place on Wednesday, October 27th from 5:30 to 8:30 PM at the Regional Office of Education #11, located at 730 7th Street in Charleston. This event is free of charge and all attendees will be entered into a drawing for a $500 scholarship (two winners will be awarded). Please feel free to call Dr. Kyle Thompson or Dr. Zakry Standerfer at (217)348-0151 with any questions regarding this event or entering the teaching profession.
