Hands-on experience opens doors to education careers

Young girl and caregiver engaged in a creative activity at a colorful classroom table, surrounded by children working on crafts.

Through the Work-Based Learning program, students got a firsthand look at the daily work of education professionals. Thank you to Duffield’s Mrs. Caiola, Ms. Skahill, Mr. Buckner, Cherokee Street’s Ms. Kaplan, and Mrs. Trink of St. Mary’s Preschool for providing these opportunities. These experiences help students better understand the many roles within education and what it takes to work in the field.
