Our curriculum and instruction programs are accredited by Northcentral Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Students learn the teaching profession first-hand through continuous field experiences. In the sophomore year, students will observe secondary and middle school learning environments to become acquainted with the responsibilities of teaching and the organization of the secondary or middle school in general. In the junior year, students receive classroom teaching experience by serving as teacher assistants. Finally, a full semester of student teaching or interning is provided during the senior year.
Students also can complete part of their teaching experience in England or Wales.
Instructional and information technology are well integrated throughout the program, providing for mastery of emergent tools and materials. Our on-campus Future Teacher's Club provides extra social and learning opportunities for students in education. People interested in the field are encouraged to develop their personal skills by tutoring, working at summer camps or other youth activities and by getting involved in volunteer activities.
