Students:

Are you interested in becoming a teacher? Would you like to teach preschool or special education? Or is teaching in a high school setting more appealing? SCSC's Education Career Academy can help you explore a wide variety of teaching professions.

Teachers and Counselors:

Education Career Academy instructor-led courses are offered online with a local teacher to support the student's journey. There are also coordinated work-based learning opportunities for students to shadow classrooms in their home district, create lesson plans, and even assist with hands-on activities in the classroom.


According to the Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board, the teacher shortage spans public schools in urban, suburban and rural communities and is the result of multiple factors. Among them: just half of Minnesota teachers with a professional license are working in the classroom, and there's been a significant dip in the number of new teachers entering the profession. The problem is so widespread that more than a third of districts reported they were unable to fill teaching positions they'd budgeted for in the 2019-20 school year.
