USA

1

What will I learn?

Secondary school teachers must be proficient in the design and delivery of instruction, classroom organization and management, and other research-based best practices that support quality teaching and learning. Fairleigh Dickinson University’s School of Education (SOE) offers a preparation program leading to New Jersey certification in Secondary Education (K-12) that requires 24 credits for certification and another twelve (12) credits to complete the M. A. T. degree.

Candidates pursuing certification to teach at the secondary level must have a bachelor’s degree with at least 30 credits in a coherent sequence of courses in the subject area to be taught (e.g., mathematics, social studies, chemistry, biology, etc.) or in the discipline taught;

Career Outcomes

The most highly sought after certifications are those in mathematics and the sciences.

Any secondary level teacher with a second (additional) certification in special education becomes a valuable asset to the school and district.

We encourage our candidates to add second certifications in special education, or in bilingual education.
