The events are part of a leading-edge program by WilmU that allows students who plan to become teachers to get a head start on college by earning credits while they are still in high school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seventeen students from Howard High School of Technology in Wilmington and their instructor, <strong>Lindsay Tietze-Maloney<\/strong>, attended a lunch-and-learn session at the New Castle Campus sponsored by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilmu.edu\/education\/indexe.aspx\">College of Education and Liberal Arts<\/a>. These students are part of New Castle County Vocational Technical (NCCVT) Teacher Academy and are taking Learner Development and Early Literacy at WilmU this spring. The event consisted of a campus tour and program overview hosted by <strong>Lara Crowley<\/strong>, chair of Early Childhood and Elementary Education, and <strong>Dr. Michael Curry<\/strong>, chair of Secondary Programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In another event, 48 Christiana High School juniors attended a general lunch-and-learn session with CHS Vice Principal <strong>Robert Graham<\/strong> and guidance counselor <strong>Sydney Brown<\/strong>. The students are part of CHS\u2019s Honors Academy and will take Introduction to Critical Thinking and English Composition on WilmU\u2019s New Castle campus this spring. Students took a campus tour, participated in a cohort overview, and secured student ID badges. Students at both events went home with a swag bag.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Future teachers are forming a bond with Wilmington University while still in high school.
