UPCOMING....Spring 2026 Field Hour/ Method Hours Student Orientation Tues MARCH 31st @4pm! See you there!
NLU believes that educators learn best by doing—so we prioritize your opportunities to be in the field working with classroom mentors, students, and site administrators.
Completing field hours in a classroom setting allows you to apply and practice what you have learned in your coursework.
Exploring and creating your own teacher identity helps you to become a capable and confident teacher.
