Education
Found that you have an uncanny ability to explain concepts to others? Do you enjoy working with children and desire to be a role model? Share your passion for learning—and inspire the next generation—by becoming a teacher. Studying education at Northwestern is a great place to start.
As a student in Northwestern’s teacher education program, you’ll learn being a good teacher means being a servant. You’ll experience that firsthand as professors serve you in the name of Jesus Christ. Through stories from their own experiences, they'll help you discover how you, too, can live out your faith in the classroom.
Since 1971, Northwestern’s education program has been accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the country’s foremost accrediting agency for teacher education programs. Only four other teacher education programs in Iowa have earned NCATE accreditation; nationwide, approximately one-half of all colleges with teacher education programs have earned this distinction. Because of the NCATE accreditation, many states will certify NWC graduates without additional course work. Northwestern's education program is also included in Rugg's Recommendations on the Colleges, a national guidebook that recommends specific college departments to prospective students.
Northwestern emphasizes performance-based education, a national movement that evaluates the teaching abilities of new and future teachers. This emphasis by education faculty informs and prepares you for these key performances through classes and hands-on experiences.
