Elementary school teachers change lives. You’ll serve as a role model of curiosity and inquiry, spark their imagination by teaching them to read, open young minds to the communities that surround them, and bring important world events to the classroom. During this critical stage of your students’ development, you can help them build self-confidence and acquire the interpersonal skills to make them stronger individuals and better citizens.

Student teaching


North Park’s teachers-in-training follow an extensive clinical experience program that culminates in student teaching. For at least 12 weeks, you’ll assume full responsibility for a classroom: teaching, attending meetings, keeping records, grading, and meeting with parents. You’ll work with a cooperating teacher, and a North Park faculty member will observe you throughout the process, offering constructive feedback and advice.
