Most teachers would agree there is nothing more rewarding than watching your students learn, grow and succeed. For the Christian educator, there is the added joy of sharing Jesus' love by encouraging each student to recognize his or her potential. Northwestern's "teacher as servant" philosophy will help you to identify your students as God's children, bringing Christ to the center of your work in the classroom.
