Lawrence University offers teacher certification at the middle through secondary
level (grades 6 through 12). In addition to required education courses, all
students seeking teacher certification must complete a major (or its equivalent)
in the subject they plan to teach. Finally, all candidates for teacher certification
complete a term of student teaching. Student-teaching assignments for public
and
private school semesters are contracted with local Fox Valley schools or the
Associated
Colleges of the Midwest Urban Education program in Chicago.
Students who want to teach art or foreign language (Chinese, French, German,
Japanese, Latin, Russian, or Spanish) or music (choral, general, or instrumental)
receive
special-field certification for teaching early childhood
through adolescence
(K-12).
