While all of our students at Chantilly Academy are engaged in lessons planned by our amazing instructors, one particular classroom is filled with students who are doing the lesson planning. Teachers for Tomorrow (TfT) is a two year program offered to juniors and seniors who are interested in pursuing a career in education. As part of their curriculum, TfT students participate in classroom observations and complete their own student teaching experience.
Students in the program work with TfT instructor, Mrs. Reinfried, to identify areas of education they are most interested in and passionate about, and select their observations and student teaching experiences accordingly. TfT students complete their internships in elementary, middle, and high school classrooms and have the opportunity to spend time in general education, special education, and advanced academics classrooms depending on their interests.
Teachers for Tomorrow is one of FCPS' Grow Your Own programs. FCPS is committed to growing our own teacher pipeline and, as part of that commitment, students who successfully complete TfT and go on to earn a degree from an accredited collegiate teacher preparation program are offered a guaranteed interview for a teaching position with FCPS.
 This week, Chantilly Academy inducted 53 new members to the National Technical Honor Society, the honor society for Career & Technical Education (CTE) which recognizes outstanding student achievement in CTE. We also recognized 8 second year members at the induction ceremony. Congratulations to all of our new and returning NTHS members!
