The next generation of educators is already hard at work—and having a lot of fun along the way.
Over two weeks, students in the Educational Careers program at the Wilson Talent Center were planning, prepping, and presenting original 21st-century skills lessons. Designed for a range of topics and grade levels, the student-led lessons focused on sparking curiosity, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity.
From interactive games to hands-on activities, each lesson provided a chance for aspiring educators to build confidence and connect with their peers through purposeful instruction. The experience supports deeper learning in both content development and classroom delivery, preparing students for success in future education careers.
This is what career-ready learning looks like—real teaching practice with real impact.
