The Engagement Pathways (EEPs) provide hands-on experiences with students, teachers, families and the community to ensure fellows are prepared for the realities of 21st century educational delivery for diverse populations, particularly within southern Nevada.
EEPs are designed to compliment what a traditional teacher preparation candidate receives and are specially designed opportunities for fellows to engage in education praxis beyond what is afforded to them in practica. These experiences total approximately 45 hours throughout the academic year.
