Wisconsin law requires a criminal background check on all license applicants. This form must also be signed and notarized before a notary public. When applying for your first teaching position you should have your credential completed. Some students start sending out their credentials in February and March. They typically send out numerous sets of credentials.
Timing is an important issue.
If you are planning on student teaching overseas, please make sure your credential is as complete as it can be before you leave. Please let the Education Office know your email address where you would like the Job Listing sent. If you would like credentials sent while you are overseas, please ask a friend or family member to notify the Education Office with a completed Credential Request Form. We will do our best to honor emergency requests, but any such request must be followed up by the student with written authorization. St. Norbert College offers many opportunities to develop your interviewing skills.
