Empowering Future Educators: Explore LISD's Career and Technical Education Program

Leander ISD offers a program for students interested in teaching careers through its Career and Technical Education (CTE) Education and Training program. This program helps students explore the education field and earn industry-based certifications to prepare for teaching roles.

The program includes a series of classes called 'Ready, Set, Teach!' where students learn about child development theories and teaching skills. The goal is to give students a thorough understanding of the teaching profession early in their academic careers.

Students have opportunities to work with local schools and receive guidance from experienced teachers. These partnerships allow students to practice their skills in real classroom settings, which helps build their confidence and teaching abilities.

The effectiveness of the program is evident in the success of its graduates, who often secure teaching positions within the district. For example, Stiles Middle School Principal Jayme Spexarth, who prefers to hire program alumni, notes the benefit of continuing the educational cycle.
