From Nelson County to Oxford, England, one Kentucky CTE student is helping show what teacher apprenticeship can do.

Nelson County High School senior MaKayla Burress recently shared her experience in the LEAD Nelson Teacher Apprentice Program with education leaders from across the United States. Burress has participated in the program since her freshman year and now spends each school day teaching first- and second-grade students at Cox’s Creek Elementary.

Having already finished her high school credits and earned two associate degrees, Burress says the hands-on experience has confirmed that teaching is where she belongs.
