THE POWER OF PURPOSE BASED LEARNING

ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION

Creating authentic, exceptional learning experiences for young people focused on entrepreneurship, the BUILD digital strategy lays the groundwork for digital communication and interactions between learners, teachers, and other community members. This social entrepreneurship training helps students develop a deeper understanding of global challenges such as climate change, socio-economic inequality, gender bias and peacebuilding. Using the Human-Centered Design Thinking Model, BUILD Design Challenges helps learners not only improve their academic outcomes and gain access to a wide range of future academic and professional opportunities, but it also develops their sense of empathy and compassion, learning to work respectfully with others. BUILD ignites the power of youth in under-resourced communities to build career success, entrepreneurial mindsets, and opportunity.

PROFESSIONAL EDUCATOR PREPARATION

CHERRY CREEK SCHOOLS
ASPIRING EDUCATOR PATHWAY

Cherry Creek's Aspiring Educator Pathway aims to disrupt traditional teacher preparation programs with a transformative approach to the development of educators through a primary focus on classroom experience. Through creative public private partnerships, this innovative, competency-based program aims to provide a solution to the national challenges of teacher recruitment, retention and longevity.

Through a paid professional apprenticeship, the Aspiring Educator Pathway is grounded in the strengths of hands-on experiences and research-driven professional practice.

These aspiring educators have a spiraled set of experiences that include 5000+ hours partnered with a Cherry Creek mentor teacher, an embedded, best-in-class professional learning curriculum, and a customized set of higher education courses.

Successful completion of this four-year program will culminate in a Colorado teacher license, a university bachelor's degree, and a full-time teaching position in Cherry Creek Schools.
