Request from the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College – Division of Teacher Preparation – for the establishment of an undergraduate certificate – Secondary Education

Action Requested:

The Curriculum and Academic Programs Committee recommends University Senate approval of a proposal submitted by the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College – Division of Teacher Preparation – for the establishment of an undergraduate certificate – Secondary Education

Rationale:

Secondary Education (SED) certificate program prepares students who wish to teach students enrolled in seventh through twelfth grades. While students develop a strong content background, the SED certification focuses on developing the requisite teaching knowledge and abilities to successfully teach middle or high school students.
 
This Secondary Education Certificate is designed to allow students to receive a degree in a content area and be eligible for teaching certification grades 7-12 from the Arizona Department of Education.
