AYA educators enhance student learning by exploring subjects more thoroughly than in middle and secondary schools, while broadening their global awareness. The core program blends academic concepts with hands-on training to qualify for teaching certification. The AYA Education curriculum mandates specialization in one teaching discipline: Integrated Language Arts, Integrated Social Studies, Integrated Mathematics, or Science.
Before student teaching, candidates complete a minimum of 100 hours of fieldwork across diverse educational environments.
The final phase of teacher preparation involves supervised student teaching, guided by both university faculty and experienced classroom teachers.
