DEPARTMENT OF CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTIONSECONDARY EDUCATION PROGRAMSecondary Education program coordinator: Dr. Charlene Crocker The primary purpose of the Secondary Education Program is to prepare candidates to become exemplary teachers in secondary schools as well as both the elementary and secondary schools for those seeking all-level certification. The Secondary Education Program provides the course work necessary for candidates to receive certification for teaching grades 8 – 12 as well as those seeking all-level certification for teaching grades EC – 12. Candidates registered for nine hours during the student teaching semester are considered to be full-time students.
Candidates for secondary level certification (8-12) and all level certification (EC12) programs except Special Education must have an academic content major. Secondary education is a minor, or a second minor, for students seeking certification for secondary teaching. Candidates are encouraged to file their official degree plans as soon as they determine their major field of study. Each candidate seeking secondary or all level certification is expected to consult with an academic content advisor to file a Declaration of Major with SED or ESD for all level as the minor. Certification candidates should also meet with an advisor in secondary education at the time the degree plan is formalized. Secondary Teaching Certification
