Overview

Through this degree program, you will also learn to empower yourself with the multicultural teaching skills and urban field experiences you need to give urban secondary students a high-quality, equitable education.

The Urban Education - Mathematics Teacher Preparation for Grades 5-12 graduate-level licensure program within the School of Urban Education (UED) is designed to meet the needs of urban middle and high schools for teachers who can improve students' educational achievement. The UED prepares prospective secondary teachers who can use their understanding of diverse urban learners and communities along with content knowledge and build on the talents and resiliency of their students for success in school and life.

Metropolitan State University's degree program’s approach to developing math teachers focuses on preparing diverse, reflective and resilient teachers who are outstanding in their commitment to teaching urban youth and creating equitable educational opportunities. More than any other program in Minnesota, we attract more teacher candidates who are of color, multilingual, low-income or ""first generation"" into teaching careers who can relate to the experiences of culturally and linguistically diverse urban youth and their communities.
