Discover Your Passion

On October 4th, SDUSD’s CCTE Child Development pathway students attended a “Discover Your Passion” event hosted by San Diego Miramar College. The school’s Child Development program offers certificates and degrees to those interested in the field of Child Development and Early Childhood Education (ECE). By attending this event, high school students learned about the various career possibilities within the field of ECE as well as educational pathways to help students become qualified for future careers. 

High school students spent time interacting with Miramar students and faculty and were also able to experience what it is like to be a child development student at Miramar College. Students toured the on-campus child development center where college students complete field hours for their degrees by planning preschool curriculum, conducting observations of children, and implement their curriculum. Through this near-peer mentoring experience both groups of students grew academically and socially.
