One Philadelphia School is Creating a Ground-Breaking CTE Model
Posted by Elevate 215 on July 18, 2023
A new, innovative program aimed at helping to produce the next generation of educators is being offered at the historic 90-year-old Dimner Beeber School building in West Philadelphia. Science Leadership Academy (SLA) at Beeber has been building a teacher pathway program since 2020 and is on the precipice of becoming one of the first schools to offer a state-certified career and technical education (CTE) K-12 program for teaching.
Launched during the pandemic, SLA@Beeber—an inquiry driven, project-based-learning middle and high school that focuses on developing students’ skills in our core values of inquiry, research, collaboration, presentation, and reflection—has offered high school students exposure to teaching through Dual enrollment programming with Temple University and Community College of Philadelphia an elective course using the Liberation Academy curriculum produced by the Center for Black Educator Development; and in-school teaching assistant opportunities, where high-school students are paired with teachers to support their younger peers. These programs are all aimed at orienting students toward education as a potential career pathway.
