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.
How do I know if I'm taking a Field Hours or Methods Course?
