Ontario College of Teachers (OCT-
Link)
We
are pleased to have helped many Ontario students reach their
goal of becoming an elementary or secondary teacher.
Many students even complete some early coursework at an
Ontario school such as Sault College or Algoma. The
single most important factor is to receive early advising to
ensure that courses completed at other institutions will meet
the program requirements of our Michigan approved
program. Please call our friendly helpful staff for
additional information (906) 635-2811
"My
journey through the Lake Superior State University Teacher
Education Program prepared me greatly for my first year of
teaching. Actually, I feel as though it is my
second year of teaching because of the year-long
internship. That was the most enriching part of
the program. It was truly a hands-on/project-based
experience - the best way that students learn! LSSU's
Teacher Ed program is the BEST!!! Talking with
teachers, principals, and educational leaders, they can't
believe the exposure that LSSU grads have to
teaching!"

"You
can teach a student a lesson for a day, but if you can
teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will
continue the learning process as long as he lives,"
by Clay P. Bedford, is a quote that I first read on a
professor's door at LSSU. LSSU teaches you how to teach
by guiding the children in your class to a positive future.
LSSU gives you the foundation that makes a person into a
teacher who will make a difference in the lives of children."
