Who are the Students?

• Since 1994 the Teacher Education Program (TEP) has prepared hundreds of professionals to be more effective teachers.
• Participants come from a variety of states, countries and professional backgrounds.
• Participants are: nurse-midwives, nurse-practitioners, social workers, researchers, and advanced practice nurses. Most participants are mid-career.
• Participants are interested in sharing their professional expertise through teaching.
• Not all participants envision a classroom teaching role. Some will use their TEP skills in clinical settings, non-profit agencies and research environments.
• Completion of the TEP leads to the skills and confidence needed to provide leadership in a teaching/learning situation.
• After completion of the TEP, graduates are qualified to take the NLN Certified Nurse Educator Exam.
