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.

UW-Green Bay’s teacher education program is approved 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.
“Stepping into kindergarten, right then and there, I knew I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up.”
