There’s really no greater thrill for a teacher than making a difference in a student’s life. That’s what we prepare you to do. Our Teacher Education Program is founded on the idea that you learn to be a great teacher by teaching. You’ll learn by doing, whether you are observing, teaching, or planning lessons in the schools. From your first day, you’ll get a realistic picture of teaching as a profession and begin to develop effective teaching skills. However, you don’t do it alone.

Your professors have taught on the front lines; they have first-hand knowledge of what works and what doesn’t. While you will learn classroom theory at BSC, you’ll learn even more from your professors’ personal experience.
Our certified teacher education programs include elementary/collaborative education K-6, secondary education 6-12, and dance, music, and visual art education P-12. For those not interested in certification, we offer the educational services major. For those interested in religious education, we offer an interdisciplinary religion-education major.

Birmingham-Southern’s Teacher Education Program has been nationally accredited for more than 50 years by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Our programs are also accredited and approved by the Alabama State Department of Education (ALSDE).

What that means for you is simple. If you want to devote your life to teaching others, we will prepare you to make a difference.
