🍎✨ Future educators in action! ✨🍎

Students in the TAP 1 (Teaching As A Profession) program at #ShelbyvilleCentralHighSchool recently visited University of Tennessee Southern for a campus tour and the opportunity to meet with representatives from the College of Education. #TAP instructor Mrs. Melody Redd, a UT Southern alumna, enjoyed sharing the experience with #students and capturing a photo together on campus. 🎓🧡

In addition to exploring future educational opportunities, TAP 1 and Intro to TAP students have been serving the community by assisting #SouthsideElementarySchool staff and students during field day activities and carnival day. 🎪⭐

The TAP program continues to thrive thanks to the support of schools across the district that provide valuable work-based learning opportunities for students, helping inspire and prepare the next generation of educators. 📚❤️
