(Initial Program - Leads to Initial Teacher Licensure) Grand Canyon University’s Bachelor of Arts in Theatre for Secondary Education (leads to credential) degree program is designed for students interested in teacher certification for the education of children in grades seven through twelve. The format and courses of this regionally accredited and Arizona-approved program are designed to maximize the content knowledge that the teacher candidate will possess upon graduation. Courses are taught by experts in their respective fields who share knowledge and experience in areas of educational psychology, philosophy, methodology, and curriculum development. All courses are directly aligned with the Interstate New Teacher Support and Assessment Consortium (InTASC, April 2011), National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST-Handbook, 2015- 2016), and the International Society of Technology in Education (Standards-T2008) standards. Opportunities are provided to apply concepts, theories, and research throughout the program. Assignments within many of the courses guide students through over 100 hours of observational and practice-based experiences, and the final semester of the program includes a full-time, 15- week student teaching component. These educational settings must be state certified environments and mentor teachers must be fully certified. Teacher candidates are responsible for contacting their state department of education for certification requirements and program approval.
