Schedule A Visit To Your High School

The Director of Recruitment is available to visit high schools and middle schools in the Piedmont Triad school districts– Alamance/Burlington, Asheboro, Chatham County, Davidson County, Davie County, Guilford County, Lexington, Mount Airy, Randolph County, Rockingham County, Stokes County, Surry County, Thomasville City, Winston-Salem/Forsyth County, and Yadkin County.

The following presentations are tailored for any group of high school students interested in becoming a teacher. A modified version of Program Options in Teacher Education at UNCG has been developed for middle school students and incorporates a game approach to introduce students to teaching as a profession.

Program Options in Teacher Education at UNCG (Middle & High School Students)
This presentation includes a brief overview of UNCG, the teacher education programs offered, qualities of effective teachers, and information about college scholarships and loans available to prospective teachers. The presentation takes a minimum of one hour.

A+ Homegrown Teachers: Returning to My Hometown to Teach (High School Students)
This presentation includes representatives from both UNCG and your local school district.  The school district representative presents information about job opportunities within the local district and what licensure means.  Emphasis may be placed on one or more of the high need areas of math, science, middle grades, and exceptional children.  The UNCG representative talks about program options available at UNCG and the value of returning to your hometown to teach.

Taking Charge of My College Education: Understanding My Role in Program Planning and the Advising Process (High School Students)
The purpose of this round table discussion is to help students understand how the university is organized into Colleges and Schools each with Departments and Advising Centers.  Using sample degree audit checklists (similar to online degree evaluations), students walk through one to three scenarios for teacher education degrees.  Tips are given for succeeding in college with emphasis on self-advocacy and taking responsibility for planning and meeting requirements for graduation and earning a license to teach.

Setting a Vision and Organizing for Excellence in the Classroom (Teacher Cadets & Early Childhood Students)
Setting a Vision emphasizes the need for teachers to have a clear vision of what the classroom should be like.  Organizing for Excellence outlines how to structure various aspects of the classroom to prompt responsible student behavior.

Great Expectations: Helping Students Become CHAMPIONS (Teacher Cadets & Early Childhood Students)
Using the CHAMPs acronym (from CHAMPs: A Proactive and Positive Approach to Classroom Management), future teachers learn the importance of overtly teaching students how to behave responsibly so they have opportunities to become CHAMPIONS! 

What Matters Most about Motivating Students?(Teacher Cadets &  Early Childhood Students)
Motivation is discussed from the point of what we can do as teachers to motivate students to demonstrate their best behavior.  We ask ourselves: How effective is our instruction?  Are we enthusiastic? How much noncontingent attention do we give students? How meaningful is our positive feedback? In what ways do we celebrate student success?  How often do we interact with students when they are behaving versus misbehaving?
