Teach Your Subject, Shape What Comes Next

Turn your passion for a subject into meaningful work with middle and high school students.

The Department of Secondary Education prepares future and current single subject teachers to become reflective practitioners and leaders grounded in equity and social justice. Through discipline specific coursework, clinical learning opportunities and research-based teaching methods, you will learn how to support adolescents in urban public schools and inspire all students to learn. Whether you are preparing for your first credential, teaching while you earn your credential or advancing your practice through graduate study, Secondary Education helps you build the skills, confidence and purpose to make a difference in the classroom.
