University of Memphis Office of Teacher Education

Our office has helped tens of thousands of students to become K-12 school teachers in Western Tennessee and the Mid-South. We help several hundred students get their initial teacher license or additional endorsement license each year.

Our Office of School Based Clinical Practice works with the surrounding school systems to place students in field experiences and their final semester of student teaching. We do everything possible to prepare them to pass the Tennessee requirements for teacher licensure and to be ready to teach in any kind of K-12 school setting.
