Guilford County Schools
Teacher Cadet Teacher
Page High School and Western Guilford High School

I am the Teacher Cadet Teacher at Western Guilford High School and Page High School. It is an honor to be an integral part of such an outstanding program and at two of the finest High Schools in Guilford County. I love my profession because I have the grand opportunity to provide my Cadets with "hands on" experience in education.

The North Carolina Teacher Cadet Program is designed to introduce our Teacher Cadets to the field of education through fun and informative lessons, projects, fieldwork experience, and class seminars.

At Western and Page we are proud to offer a rich curriculum that will hopefully enlighten our students about the JOY of Teaching. This course is designed for High School Juniors and Seniors who are interested in the field of education (whether the students decide to become a teacher or not) and have followed the College University Preparatory Curriculum. As a Teacher Cadet Teacher I always look forward and welcome interested students who have the desire and passion to learn more about Teaching as a Profession.

Mrs. Ginger Parnell, the Director of Recruitment, Retention and Professional Development for the School of Education at UNCG developed a Teacher Cadet/College Partnership with both Western and Page along with other GCS High Schools. This partnership was designed to enhance our curriculum and provide insight about teaching as a profession. This partnership enables out Teacher Cadets to engage in class seminars with College Professors, Campus Events such as the Children's Festival, Be Inspired! A Teacher's Story, Senior Day, Team Quest, and of course our wonderful Speakers Bureau.

Every highlight - every experience - and every field trip these students are afforded bring them one step closer to the rewards of teaching. "Teaching is the Profession that creates all others." I truly wish for each and every student who experience this program realize what a difference they have made in the life of a child. My goal is to see these bright, young talented students return to Guilford County Schools and TEACH!

	"My students were thoroughly impressed with the Children's Festival. What a GREAT chance to get students involved at early ages. We had a blast painting faces and making snow globes! We are already talking about next year!"
	"WOW! That was the reaction of most of my Teacher Cadets. They never realized that UNCG has such awesome programs. The day served to make my students even more excited about college, especially those coming to UNCG in the Fall. After hearing about the nationally ranked School of Education, I have a few who even talked about changing their college plans to attend UNCG. I am looking forward to this being an annual event!"
	"I cannot even put into words how excited my Teacher Cadets are now! Ron Clark's energy and passion are contagious! His words of wisdom and hilarious anecdotes helped a few of my Cadets who were still 'on the fence' decide that teaching is definitely where they want to be! "

UNCG Alumni actively serve as part of our Volunteer Recruitment Network. These former UNCG students return to campus to share their perspectives on TEACHING as part of Teacher Education Connection for students who are exploring teaching as a profession and those who are enrolled currently in a teacher education program. We gladly welcomed the support of these outstanding alumni as they are our “voices from the field!”
