Teaching has many rewards.
Among them is the satisfaction of knowing that you re helping improve the lives of others. If you accept the challenge to teach, be prepared to spend time and energy motivating students to work hard for success. In the UW College of Education, we ll make sure you get to know what teaching is really like from the start of your four-year program. College faculty members and Wyoming public school educators will guide you with practical experience, helping you become the best teacher you can be. You ll work closely with other students as part of a team and go to public schools throughout the state, or right here in southeast Wyoming, to work with faculty and master teachers in hands-on situations.
