Teachers make a difference in students lives.
Teaching is a fulfilling career that lets you be creative and focus on a subject that interests you. The United States is facing a major teacher shortage. Over the next ten years half the teachers will retire while student enrollment continues to increase. By 2010 schools will need to hire about 1.3 million new teachers. Nichols professors are always willing to give a helping hand.
