Future educators gain real-world experience through job shadow program
As part of Connetquot High School’s Work Based Learning program, students Adrianna Clarelli, Sophia Dematteis and Ella Vereb, all aspiring elementary school teachers, recently had the opportunity to shadow elementary educators within the district. The experience gave them a behind-the-scenes look at the daily responsibilities of teaching, including classroom management and the creativity involved in engaging young learners.
Experiences like this provide students with valuable real-world insight, while also building confidence and strengthening mentorship connections. Thank you to Mrs. Randazzo, Mr. Cavanagh and Ms. Zipkis for inspiring the next generation of teachers!
