Overview

This Teaching Secondary Education (Grades 9-12) Certification Preparation program allows you to pursue teaching certification within the Master’s degree at Lindenwood University. We offer certification in secondary biology, chemistry, math, social studies, English, business, marketing, and speech/theatre.

Our program integrates research-based best practices, one of which is co-teaching. Our teacher candidates work with PK-12 students in schools but also in summer camps and after school tutoring. In a survey administered by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, over 82% of Lindenwood alumni in public school teaching jobs reported they were well prepared or very well prepared in their first year.

Career

Each state issues its own teaching certificates based on its own requirements. Upon passing the state-mandated exit assessment and successfully completing the planned degree program, each Lindenwood University College of Education and Human Services student applies for certification to teach in Missouri.
