Seniors enrolled in Kent Roosevelt’s Teaching Professions
program are completing a six-week residency in RCET’s AT&T Classroom. The
Teaching Professions program offered at Kent Roosevelt High School (Kent City
Schools) is one of 25 Career & Technical Education programs available
through the region’s Six District Compact.
The program is designed for high school students who are interested in pursuing a career
in teaching, school administration, or guidance counseling and provides an
opportunity for students to learn more about future career options through
field experiences and coursework. The
students’ experience in the AT&T Classroom is led by Kent Roosevelt’s
Teaching Professions Instructor Rhonda Butler and Kent Roosevelt English
teacher Jaclyn Consilio Mahoney. During their six weeks in the AT&T
Classroom, the students will explore a wide variety of digital tools that can
be used for teaching and learning across the PreK-12 curriculum. Students will
also begin development of their digital professional portfolios that will summarize
their field and classroom experiences.
