Practicum experiences allow candidates options to work with diverse high school students in after-school settings, and private and public schools in preparation to one day be educators of students grades 9-12.

Get Real-World Experience
Unlike many education programs, we give our students the chance to begin practicum experiences starting their freshman year. This way you can decide early on if teaching is the right path for you.
By graduation, our students have years of experience in diverse public and private classroom settings and are well-prepared for their transition to a full-time educator.
Illinois Professional Teaching Standards
The education programs align with the Illinois Professional Teaching Standards and prepare candidates for Illinois licensure. Any candidates wishing to teach in another state should check with that state’s board of education to determine the ease of transferring the Illinois license.
