Academic Year
Teachers of Tomorrow provides ongoing academic year support that builds on the Summer Institute and helps students stay on track toward college and career goals. Students participate in a Saturday Seminar featuring interactive workshops and presentations focused on college readiness, career exploration, and pathways into teaching.
The program also includes a Fall Visitation Day, offering students an on-campus experience to explore academic programs, connect with faculty, staff, and college students, and learn more about teacher education.
Throughout the year, students receive individualized guidance through virtual check-ins, which support college planning, application tracking, scholarship searches, and financial aid guidance. The academic year concludes with a Spring Celebration, recognizing student growth and achievements.
