SAU Teacher Education Club

The SAU Teacher Education Club is the official university affiliate for Educators Rising, a national organization for aspiring teachers and mentors. This program aims to support undergraduate students as they pursue their path to classrooms of their very own. In this organization, members will get hands-on experience in the classroom with students, participate in various activities across campus, and meet fellow education students and staff members. Members will have access to resources and support outside of their academic studies designed to help them learn and think about the most pressing issues facing educators today.
