Secondary Education

Secondary Education intern

Students majoring in secondary education are given the best preparation in curriculum, methods, and equipment. They select two teaching fields designed to meet the needs of Christian schools. Students observe videotaped high school classes as well as live high school classes. They gain experience before beginning their teaching internship by teaching peers during sophomore and junior years.

Secondary Teaching Internship: Teaching internships begin Pre-term in the fall with ED 419 Teaching Internship Orientation. Teaching internships are restricted to students who meet the following prerequisites:

  1. Senior in last two semesters
  2. Completed prerequisite course work (see SE 420 course description)
  3. Completed application procedures by announced deadline
  4. Explicit approval of the Department of Secondary Education

Academic Requirement: A second teaching field replaces a minor. A teaching methods course is required in both first and second fields. Students must have at least a “C” in all education courses and all teaching field courses.
