Thinking About Teaching?
Take an introductory teaching course as a freshman to see if teaching is the right path for you!
Our STEP 1 (SMED 1012) course is designed for any major! You don't have to declare education to take this two-hour course. In STEP 1, you will receive an introduction to teaching pedagogy, lesson planning, and classroom management. Plus, you will get to observe in a real classroom and teach 2-3 times! If you have ever considered teaching, this course is the one for you!

What is OSUTeach?
OSUTeach is a program where students earn a content degree (biology, chemistry, mathematics, geology, physics, or zoology) AND receive secondary education certification. Upon graduation, students have three options:
- teach in a secondary education classroom
- pursue a graduate degree in their content area
- obtain a job in their content field
Benefits of the OSUTeach Program
- Students have access to a student center with a study space, group space, technology, teaching resources, snacks, and mentor support.
- Students become members of cohorts where they take classes together and form a unique community.
- Students have access to a variety of scholarships, internships, and grants since our program is a collaboration of the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Education and Human Sciences.
- Students have leadership opportunities through the OSUTeach Club, NSTA, and OSUTeach Ambassadorship.
- Students obtain classroom teaching experience beginning in their freshman year in local Stillwater schools!
