UVM's Secondary Education program provides supportive and rigorous learning experiences preparing aspiring educators for immediate success in middle and high school settings. Students can learn to develop engaging and relevant curriculum, value and respect the uniqueness of students and their families, and utilize assessment data to tailor student learning.
Students learn from experience throughout the entire program. They learn how to cultivate connections between theory and practice by engaging in at least four practical experiences in a variety of school and community settings (urban, suburban and/or rural). A full semester teaching internship in the senior year fully immerses them in the school culture teaching classes, collaborating with school professionals, participating in professional development, and attending or leading extracurricular activities.
