EXPERIENCE BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
In their spring practicum, our apprentices are offered the opportunity to see and experience a different teaching model at PreK–8 Boston Public School Gardner Pilot Academy. Given the expanding diversity in schools everywhere, it is advisable for apprentices to gain practical experience teaching in a public school that includes English Language Learners (ELL) and disabled students.
