About the Program

STEP up and make a difference!

Did you know that teacher quality is one of the most influential factors in student achievement?
 
The mission of the Supportive Teacher Education Program (STEP) is to recruit and support local students into becoming highly qualified teachers for students in their own communities.
 
The Associate in Arts in Teaching (AAT) degree program is designed to provide a career ladder for teaching. The program prepares students to be an effective educator and the AAT degree provides a solid foundation for those interested in pursuing a baccalaureate degree in education.
