SHS introduces Future Educators of America club

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a great teacher?

Stroudsburg High School has started a new club, Future Educators of America. This club welcomes anyone who wants to learn the basics of being a teacher. The advisors of this club include guidance counselor Mr. William Kunkel and Morey Elementary teacher Ms. Christine Wickenheiser. 

Future Educators of America gives high school students a behind-the-scenes look at being a teacher. Making lesson plans, outlining student-teacher relationships, monitoring social media presence, and demonstrating how to teach a lesson are all part of the experience.

The Future Educators Club will give our students experience and opportunity to explore a career in education.  It will hopefully allow them to solidify their future career path and possibly give them the chance to begin working towards that while still in high school.
