Fast Track Science
Our program is designed for middle school and high school science teachers who need initial licensure as teachers of biology or chemistry. If you are a teacher with an undergraduate science degree, but lack background in pedagogy and a Massachusetts Department of Elementary & Secondary Education initial teaching license, this program could benefit you.
Highlights include:
- Streamlined coursework focuses on general and content-specific instructional strategies, student diversity, and learning differences
- Weekly seminar addresses questions and challenges facing new teachers.
- A full-time practicum can be completed using current teaching positions
- Most courses may be used towards a master's degree
- Can be completed in a year and a summer, and in as little as 15 credits, depending on your content background
