You're inspired to benefit society and positively impact the future of humanity. You strive to make a difference in the lives of children for years to come. By becoming a teacher, you will accomplish these things, while contributing to one of the world's oldest – and most important – professions.
Our K-9 Program, offered through Lakeland's William R. Kellett School, is ideal for students who have completed the Foundations of Teacher Education Program or the Early Childhood Education Program through one of the technical collegesin the Wisconsin Technical College System.Students who have completed this program are eligible for one tuition-free course and a 20% tuition discount.
Other students interested in the K-9 Education Program are encouraged to reach out to one of our admissions advisors to discuss whether their experiences and academic backgrounds would be suitable for the completion of the K-9 Education Program.
Special Education License
Lakeland University has partnered with CESA 7, which allows Lakeland students pursuing a K-9 teaching license to add a K-12 Cross-Categorical Special Education license by completing four special education elective courses through CESA 7 and a student teaching experience through Lakeland.
Students who graduate with both licenses have more options when applying for teaching jobs, especially in areas of high need for most school districts.
Graduates will be licensed to teach in a regular education setting in grades kindergarten through 9, and in school districts that provide services to pupils in kindergarten through grade 12 with intellectual, emotional-behavioral, specific learning, or other disabilities.
