Work-Based Learning Wednesday: Meet Shayla Squires
Shayla, a graduate of Richfield High School, completed her CTE Internship at Pahvant Elementary School.
“Have you ever thought about the future, and who will change the world? I know who, because I [had] the opportunity of being in the classroom with them two or three times a week. These third graders that I [taught] are going to have a lasting effect on the future. At this point in their lives, they are learning skills they will need throughout high school, college, and everyday life.
“I [did] my CTE Internship in the field of elementary education. I worked with students one-on-one, helping them learn basic multiplication. Every day they taught me new things, giving me a different outlook on life. With help from their teacher, my mentor, DeAnn Henrie, I learned and experienced something not very many students get during their high school years. This learning experience confirmed for me that I want to be an elementary teacher.”
