The ProTeam program is designed for middle school students to help them develop self-awareness, cooperative social skills, knowledge about the teaching profession and strategies for goal setting.
The students will participate in a session titled “What is College Like?” from 10 a.m.-11 a.m., tour the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ campus from 11 a.m.-noon, and have lunch with ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ students from noon-1 p.m.
“This is a great opportunity for everyone involved,” says Janice Richardson, associate director of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Teaching Fellows program. “ProTeam allows ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ students enrolled in the Teaching Fellows program to interact with middle school students. By touring campus and interacting with ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ students, these middle school students will begin to focus on their own college goals and plans.”
