The Discipline

All courses offered in the secondary education teacher education program are designed to meet the performance standards established by the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board (HTSB) and to provide a classroom-oriented knowledge base in a subject content area. Field experiences are attached to most academic professional classes in the Teacher Education Program, with the capstone experience being student teaching for students working to teach in grades seven through 12 in public or private schools.

The program provides the opportunity for prospective teachers to learn about the culture of the secondary school, develop a solid foundation in basic principles of teaching and learning that originate in educational theory and research, and become proficient in systematically applying those basic principles in practical U.S. and international settings.


Career Opportunities

The Secondary Education program prepares students for a career teaching students in grades seven to 12. Individuals may also pursue other career opportunities in education such as counselors, curriculum specialists and administrators.
