The right place for teachers who want to teach! Become a qualified teacher in the USA

Excellence. Service. Community. Leadership. Whether you're an under- graduate or graduate student, a teacher seeking professional development or an administrator from one of our many partner schools, these are words you'll hear are passionate teachers with years often in SNHU's School of Education.
We believe education can transform lives. We believe we must serve our communities. We believe we can improve public education. Today’s educators must be ready to use innovative resources and technology as well as time-tested approaches to meet the needs of our ever-changing society. We can help you become a leader in the field and in the classroom. We've pledged a lifelong devotion to learning, and we're proud of our idealism.
We also believe in learning by doing. Wherever you are in your career, we'll help you put theory into practice. If you're an undergraduate student or a graduate student seeking certification, you'll be sent into classrooms in the community immediately. If you're an established teacher, we'll help you apply what you're learning here where you work. And with SNHU holding regional (NEASC) and subject accreditation, your qualification is something worth achieving.
You won’t have to go it alone
Small classes (our faculty-student ratio is 12 to 1) mean you’ll get personal attention and plenty of support from faculty. They’ll be your advisors as well as your instructors – true partners in your education. Everyone in the School of Education can answer questions about your program.
When it comes time to do your field experience, we'll worry about the details so you can focus on the experience. You'll be partnered with experienced teachers who are familiar with our programs. You'll be coached on everything from classroom etiquette to instructional methods. And if you are an undergraduate and don’t have a car, we’ll help you get to where you need to go!
SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE UNIVERSITY – Bringing Education to the New England States of the USA
DO YOU…
· Crave the smell of dry-erase markers and new textbooks?
· Get a thrill from seeing others’ “ah-ha” moments?
· Want to get paid for doing what you love to do?
· Want to impact the lives of others?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then the school of Education at SNHU has a program for you; Undergraduate, Graduate, Certification and non-certification programs. We’ll help you prepare to launch your career or, if you are already in the classroom, obtain the credentials to help you gain a promotion or increase your salary.
It’s all about the experience
As a School of Education student, you won't only learn about education and early care: you'll experience it. Our undergraduates begin observing and working with area teachers in real classrooms during their first semester. While many other universities make students wait a year or even two before sending them into the field, we want you to get a feel for the profession as soon as possible. (After all, how else will you know if it’s the right career for you?)
Depending on your program, you’ll spend time working in elementary, middle or high school programs, in tutoring programs or in early care and education centers. For example, teacher education majors complete at least 100 hours of field work in different schools, with different grade levels and a number of teachers, so they get a truly diverse experience.
Students in the child development programs can work with parents and children in local school districts and other community-based organizations. Teacher education students are encouraged to apply what they're learning in our classrooms in the classrooms in which they work.
