"A historic turnover is taking place in the teaching profession. While student enrollments are rising rapidly, more than a million veteran teachers are nearing retirement. Experts predict that overall more than 2 million new teachers will be needed in the next decade." (http://www.nea.org/teachershortage/index.html). As people will be involved in education and training throughout their life, there is also a need for continued learning after the traditional end of formal education. Educators and trainers are needed to provided educational opportunities for these life-long learners. Introduction to Education and Training is designed to give high school learners an overview of the opportunities, occupations, and skills needed in this career cluster. Topics to be covered in this course are exploration of career pathways within this cluster, qualities, characteristics, and skills of effective educators/trainers, influences on education and training and safe environment conducive to learning.
