Overview

As an elementary teacher candidate at CUC, you’ll receive hands-on training in the emerging necessity of technology in the classroom as well as first-hand experience teaching students core basics while building upon their skills and interests.

At CUC, you are trained by experienced educators who themselves are teachers with years of practical classroom experience. Our faculty understand the day-to-day challenges you will encounter because they have been there themselves. They strive to thoroughly prepare you for the realities you will face as a teacher. Concordia-Chicago’s location near Chicago provides access to a rich socioeconomic learning environment at the crossroads of urban and suburban communities.

In addition to your general education courses, you will receive training in specific elementary education courses, which focus on the characteristics, assessment and instructional strategies needed to teach one of the widest-ranging age groups available for certification.

Concordia-Chicago teacher candidates must complete a rigorous 16-week student teaching internship in real classrooms—this means you are managing and teaching a class of your own and building your resume before you even graduate.
