Secondary Teaching Certification

    Certificate, Post-Baccalaureate
    Online

Program Overview

Students pursuing the Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction can also seek preparation as a secondary education teacher certified in the content areas of Biology, English, Mathematics, or Social Studies.

This program is designed for the professional who holds a bachelor’s degree and who seeks to obtain Pennsylvania Instructional I Teaching Certification in order to teach at the secondary level, grades 7-12.

In addition, individuals who wish to pursue teaching certification in grades 4-8 English Language Arts and Reading, Mathematics, Science, and/or Social Studies and who have earned a bachelor’s degree in a related field, may also be eligible for the program.

All potential candidates are encouraged to request a transcript evaluation and to meet with the Program Coordinator to discuss requirements and scheduling options. Individuals who meet enrollment qualifications and who are currently employed as full-time substitute teachers may be eligible to complete the program while continuing in their district position.

The program offers flexibility of scheduling and rolling admission options for summer, fall, and spring. Courses, except those that have a field experience component, are conveniently offered online to accommodate work and family schedules. 成人抖音破解版 provides graduate learners with the tools to engage in leadership activities, instructional innovation, and ongoing assessment.

In each of the core courses, the graduate learner submits assignments that are labeled as Key Assessments. These assignments are reviewed by the course instructor. At the conclusion of the core courses, the graduate learner submits a final, electronic reflection which is reviewed by the program coordinator.

Individuals seeking initial teaching certification are also required to complete a professional portfolio. The professional portfolio is intended to demonstrate and document the professional educator’s knowledge, skills, abilities, performances, and professionalism. At the university level, portfolios must demonstrate the degree to which the teacher candidate has attained the outcomes designated by the School of Education and the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Equally important, the professional portfolio is a tool for the interviewing process.

Teacher candidates are required to complete more than 180 hours of field experiences and 14 weeks of student teaching. Student teaching is completed in an Erie area school district and requires the teacher candidate to be in an assigned classroom every day, all day for the full 14 weeks. Teacher candidates are encouraged to talk to their advisor early in the program so that they can take the proper course sequence and meet all certification and program requirements.

Learning Outcomes

In addition to the learning outcomes in the Master of Education: Curriculum and Instruction program, graduate learners who are seeking initial teaching certification are able to:

  • Demonstrate knowledge of research-based educational belief systems and pedagogical/subject-matter content
  • Demonstrate a culture of learning
  • Assess and analyze student learning and make appropriate adjustments to instruction, including differentiation for diverse and exceptional learners and monitoring student progress
  • Establish and reflect on ongoing professional relationships with colleagues, students, parents, school districts, and the community to enhance student learning
