The United States education system is undergoing rapid transformation. Today’s teachers are trailblazers in addressing the needs of K-12 students of any physical or intellectual ability, race, gender or socioeconomic status. Technology has become integral to the learning experience in ways we couldn’t have previously imagined. When you earn your undergraduate degree in teaching, your positive impact will be felt by the students in your classroom and will ripple far beyond the classroom, too. It’s an exciting time to get your teaching degree — especially at St. Norbert College.

All certification pathways are approved by the Wisconsin Department of Instruction. Documentation of program approval can be found on the DPI website annual report page.

At SNC, you can earn a bachelor’s degree and complete a teacher preparation program leading to certification in one of the following developmental levels:

• Elementary and middle school (kindergarten through Grade 9)
• Middle and high school (Grades 4 through 12)
• Kindergarten through Grade 12

If there’s one thing that SNC professors and instructors have in common, it’s a passion for teaching and sharing their expertise. You’ll also find them dedicated to providing personalized guidance that supports your academic and career aspirations. Discover the distinguished scholars you’ll be learning from.

Teachers don’t just know the subjects they teach, they also know how K-12 students develop and grow; how learning varies from student to student; and how to manage, plan for and assess an entire classroom. A teacher-education major and/or certification will prepare you to teach in public or private schools and at grade levels ranging from kindergarten through high school.
