Collinwood Teaching Professions students volunteer at Memorial School
Collinwood Intro to Education students have partnered up with Memorial School kindergarten classes and Junior Achievement of Greater Cleveland. Junior Achievement provides high school students the opportunity to explore the field of education through volunteering with the elementary students.
Two days a week, three students from Collinwood High School Teaching Professions Academy visit each kindergarten class for 30 minutes. During their visit the students present a lesson to the kindergarten students that are focused on basic economic issues and the roles people play as workers, consumers and family members.
The students have learned valuable lessons about money, banking, needs vs. wants, consumption, and production. In essence, for about 2 ½ hours of time, future teachers have the opportunity to develop presentation skills, learn effective time management, lesson planning and serve as positive role models.
