“I don’t want to ever forget my eight weeks of life in Australia. I came expecting to teach, but I couldn’t have guessed just how much I’d learn.”

International Student Teaching

Education students at NKU are highly encouraged to participate in international student teaching.  Most international student teaching placements are arranged through the Consortium for Overseas Student Teaching (COST), though some are also arranged directly by the NKU Student Teaching Abroad Program. 

Scholarships are available to NKU students who participate in international student teaching.

Why student teach in an international setting?

  • Learn about a new culture
  • Learn about new ways of teaching and learning
  • Learn about diversity and sensitivity
  • Learn about methods to connect your future classrooms to overseas classrooms
  • Learn to become a global citizen
