Secondary Science Teacher Education

Overview

The Master of Education Program with a focus on Secondary Science Teacher Education partners with local schools to prepare future teachers to help students in middle and high school gain knowledge and success in science. The preparation of secondary teachers in science education addresses one of the most significant gaps in the teacher corps today. Field placements begin on the first day of school in September, which usually follows Labor Day, allowing students to experience the beginning of the public school year

It is a part-time or full-time program for those who hold a bachelor's degree. With the exception of the field experience component, the program is offered in the evening and occasional Saturday. We tailor your internship around your specific goals and objectives, and previous experience in the field of science. It is a 62 credit program that is a Summer start program.

This program is based on the most current educational research and theory. Our goal is to ensure that our graduates have a positive impact on student learning. Upon successful completion of all program requirements, students will earn a Master of Education degree and a Washington State Residency Certificate with an endorsement in Science, Earth Science, and/or Biology for grades 5-12.
