Take Your Class to the Next Level
The partnership between our high schools and Ridgewater College is what makes our consortium stand above the rest. Teacher Take Overs are designed to allow our faculty and recruitment teams opportunities to introduce students to CTE career options in a no pressure, hands-on environment.
Beginning in the 24-25 school year, the teacher take over model is expanding to include visits to Ridgeawater College as well as local businesses that support CTE opportunities.
How Teacher Take Overs Work
Part 1: We come to you!
Teachers who are new or are in need of an engaging opportunity for their students, working collaboratively with our faculty in your classroom might be an option!
In past take overs, Ridgewater College faculty have met with the teacher in advance to discuss ideas or the specific needs that the teacher would like to explore. College faculty then come out to the high school to provide more in-depth hands on activities for students to get additional experience.
Part 2: You come to us!
Now it’s time to let students take their learning to the next level by spending time with the faculty who came to your high school!
Students will come to campus and get to spend time in the faculty’s classroom and/or lab space. From hands on activities and getting to use state-of-the-art equipment, students will get to take what they learned in class and apply it on their visit.
While Allied Health careers are our most common exploration area, Ridgewater College is happy to discuss any additional areas that your students want to experience.
Part 3: Let’s Connect with Industry!
Let’s put everything together and wrap it up by connecting with one of our many industry partners to let students learn more about careers in the industry. Due to scheduling, this visit may be in collaboration with the visit to Ridgewater College or done at a separate time. We will work with you to discuss this option in more detail.
