Teacher Education Program

Dr. Paula Sable in the Curriculum Lab located in the Human Studies house.

     People who complete the Secondary English Teacher Education certification course of study may teach secondary (grades nine through twelve) school English classes. They earn a Massachusetts certificate at the Advanced Provisional level, similar to initial teaching certificates in other states. Teachers with certification at the Advanced Provisional level must complete a clinical masters program within five years in order to earn a Standard teaching certificate.
     Please note: many of the following courses will have been taken in conjunction with general college requirements or your primary major. For specifics, please confer with your advisor or Paula Sable by e-mail or phone at (508)372-7161x5207.
