(Initial Program–Leads to Initial Teacher Licensure) Grand Canyon University’s Master of Education in Secondary Education with Emphasis in STEM ITL program is designed for candidates interested in the education of children in STEM areas in grades 5-12 who are also seeking initial teaching licensure. The format and courses of this regionally accredited and Arizona- approved program are tailored to meet the needs of the adult learner and to maximize the content knowledge that the candidate already possesses. Courses are taught by experts in their respective fields who share knowledge and experience in areas of secondary education, STEM, and educational psychology. All courses are directly aligned with standards from the Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) and the International Society of Technology Educators (ISTE). Opportunities are provided to apply concepts, theories, and research throughout the program, but particularly in secondary education field experiences that guide students through 100 hours of observational and practice-based experiences. The final semester of this program includes a full-time, 15-week student teaching component. Teacher candidates are responsible for contacting their state department of education for licensure requirements and program approval. Teacher candidates are required to produce documentation of successful completion of the content area exam(s) in a STEM field in order to student teach.
Student teaching must be taken as the last course in the program.
