Secondary Education

Teaching secondary school is fun, challenging and always interesting. You will have the opportunity to make a big difference in a student's life -- whether by encouraging a student with low self-esteem, helping a struggling student understand a difficult topic, or pushing a gifted learner to take advantage of their talents.

At Lewis University's College of Education, our top priority is preparing teachers who will make a positive impact on their communities. We work to educate future teachers, impart unshakeable values and create a life-long community of learning.

You should also major in the subject you plan to teach. Currently, you can choose from Biology, Chemistry, English/Language Arts, History, Mathematics, Psychology or Physics.

Required courses for the minor include:

• Technology for Teaching and Learning
• Instructional Strategies and Learning Communities for Adolescents
• Characteristics and Development of the Adolescent Learner
• Exceptional Learners in Inclusive Communities

You will also complete 100 hours of field work, gaining hands-on experience in a variety of classroom settings.

Lewis' College of Education is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
