Some jobs are just jobs. Some are professions. Teaching is a calling. The training needed to become an accomplished, professional educator takes time and effort. But the passion to teach is something many of our students felt long before joining our program. Often it’s “that one teacher” who transforms school into a life-changing experience.
Across the nation, there’s a growing awareness of the importance of education and the need to sustain and reward teachers. In fact, in a recent Pew Research survey, education ranked third among voters’ top priorities in 2019. Bottom line? Our region, nation, and even the world want and need students just like you to choose teaching as a career. Your students are waiting for you!
In addition to the licenses listed below, students may pursue a supplemental Bilingual/Bicultural Education and/or English as a Second Language license by completing a minor in Humanistic Studies with an emphasis in linguistics and any additional requirements set by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
You’ll become a teacher by teaching. Early clinical experiences—in classrooms with students—will allow you to observe and participate in actual educational settings. Often you’ll be working with students from various ethnic, cultural and economic groups, adult learners and exceptional needs children. Many of our student-teachers tell us the experience of personally connecting with their classroom is one of their most profound learning experiences while earning their degree. And our own dedicated, world-class faculty is behind you every step on the way.
