STAR: (Students Teaching and Reaching) "Introduction to Teaching" COURSE DESCRIPTION STAR (Students Teaching and Reaching) is a high school course designed to attract students to the field of education, provide information and field experiences relevant to pursing a degree in education, and to prepare them for the rigors of a career in education so they will remain long-term educators. The STAR curriculum includes four major units: Learning about the Self, Appreciating Diverse Learners, Reviewing our History and Foundations, and Examining Teachers and Teaching. STAR is to serve as the one teacher preparation course to be used by all secondary teachers in Louisiana. The STAR curriculum is designed to provide a career focus by offering an overview of the teaching profession. STAR students are provided with means and guidance for self-assessment, learning about others, and diversity within Louisiana classrooms. Students will gain a foundational knowledge of the history of education, both national and statewide. In addition, students will be provided meaningful field experiences, with an emphasis in critical shortage areas, designed to paint a realistic picture of the teaching profession. They will be given tools that help them manage what is one of the most important and ever-changing careers. STAR: • Attracts high school students to explore teaching as a career and addresses the teacher shortage. Based on Louisiana’s occupational forecast, there is an annual demand for over 2,200 teachers. STAR begins early nurturing young people’s interest in teaching. • Offers a standards-based curriculum. STAR is a challenging, authentic curriculum that is aligned with the Louisiana Content Standards, Foundation Skills, National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), and Louisiana Components of Effective Teaching. • Serves as a recruitment and retention tool for Louisiana schools and universities through articulation agreements. • Provides structured field experiences. STAR encourages students to consider teaching in elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as in critical shortage areas such as math, science, and special education. The goal of STAR is to encourage secondary students to examine teaching as a career and, in effect, improve the state of Louisiana.
