Tomorrow’s Teachers

Tomorrow’s Teachers was established in 2007 as a curricular program for high school juniors and seniors interesting in pursuing a teaching career. The program uses the Teacher Cadet curriculum (Experiencing Education, 11th Edition) created by the Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, and Advancement (CERRA). The course offers students valuable insight into the rewards and challenges of being an educator and the critical issues affecting the quality of education in American schools. It also equips these aspiring teachers with an awareness about teaching and learning that empowers them to become community leaders and advocates for education.

Each summer, CFE works with certified CERRA trainers to hold free trainings for new and returning Tomorrow’s Teachers instructors. These two-day training are hosted on an NJ college/university campus. It is recommended that teachers have a minimum of three years of successful teaching experience before delivering the Tomorrow’s Teachers course. Each trainee must be provided with a copy of the curriculum.

CFE also partners with several universities to provide dual credit opportunities for students enrolled in the course.
