The programs are designed for students who have earned a baccalaureate degree in a content discipline and who are interested in becoming secondary teachers of that discipline. In most cases, full-time students will earn their secondary teaching certificate after one calendar year of course work and accompanying field experiences.

• English
• Foreign Languages (Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Latin, Spanish)

Secondary Community of Teachers Program - Bloomington

A highly individualized way to earn a secondary teaching license, Community of Teachers (CoT) centers on an ongoing seminar that features intensive, hands-on work in one school. Students complete the program not by earning course credits but by completing a portfolio of evidence of their ability as teachers.

The central requirement of the program is an ongoing seminar (EDUC S500, 3 cr.) that is led from one semester to the next by the same faculty member. Each seminar group contains students from different majors and includes both beginning students and student teachers. Each semester the seminar's focus is determined by the students and their professor; and under the umbrella of the seminar each student organizes and carries out an individualized program of preparation. Two semesters of S500 are the minimum.

CoT students spend one day a week in a school of their choice, each working with a teacher of their choice who has consented to be their mentor. The relationship continues throughout the students' professional preparation, including ten weeks of student teaching (EDUC M550, 10 cr.).

The activities of the apprenticeship are guided by a list of 16 program expectations that students satisfy by building evidence of their teaching capabilities. The evidence is organized in a portfolio that supports the case students must make to the faculty of their readiness to enter the profession.

Three additional courses are required to complete the professional education portion of the program:

• L517 Advanced Study of Content Reading and Literacy (2-3 cr.)
• Subject methods course as appropriate to the content field (3 cr.), Fall only:
  
  • L516 Advanced Study in the Teaching of English/Language Arts
  • L520 Advanced Study in Foreign Language Teaching
  • M522 Teaching Mathematics in the Secondary School
  • Q506 Methods of Teaching Senior High/Junior High/Middle School Science
  • S519 Advanced Study in the Teaching of Secondary School Social Studies
  • JOUR J525 Supervision of School Publications
  • THTR T478 Methods and Materials for Teaching High School Theatre and Drama
• M550 Student Teaching (10 cr.)

In addition, students must complete the requirements for the content area in which they are interested in teaching.  This knowledge is gained by completing the requirements of subject areas as listed in the undergraduate bulletin, with the substitution of graduate courses as possible. Subject areas are in:

• Health
• Journalism
• Language Arts (English)
• Mathematics
• Science (Biology, Chemistry, Earth-Space, and Physics)
• Social Studies (Economics, Geography, Government, History, Psychology, and Sociology)
• Theatre
• World Languages (Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Latin, Russian, and Spanish).

Because the state is changing its licensing rules, further changes within the content arera may be required. Contact the graduate certification advisor for the applicable program.
