Lead the change in the classroom

Our BA in Middle and High School Teaching prepares classroom teachers for grades 7-12 in English, Math, Science, Social Studies, or Spanish. Our program is designed to support the preparation of reflective, ethical, and responsive teachers committed to making the world more equitable and just through their work in public schools and with the communities they serve. 

Program graduates earn a Bachelor of Arts in Middle and High School Teaching and a Colorado provisional teacher license that allows them to teach Secondary (grades 7-12) English, Math, Science, Social Studies, Spanish, or Middle School Math (grades 6-8). Given the dual-degree nature of the program, students simultaneously pursue and earn BA or BS degrees in their content area major.

Over the course of the program, candidates engage with teachers and students in public secondary school classrooms through a series of supported practicum placements that result in over 800 hours of school-based experience.

Features:

• Learn how to establish a safer and inclusive classroom community that reflects a dynamic understanding of culture.
• Collaborate with a close-knit learning community and experience small classes led by supportive, nationally renowned faculty.
• Join a national network of current and aspiring educators in STEM education and Humanities.
• Work with teachers and students in public middle and high schools and community settings along the Front Range.
• Design activities, lessons, and units that emphasize the importance of critical, collaborative sense-making and diverse perspectives.
• Develop skills to advocate for learners—especially those most marginalized by the education system and society—inside and outside of schools.
• Practice learning from and acting in solidarity with families and communities to make schools more equitable and just.
• Combine your Middle and High School Teaching degree with a BA or BS degree in your content area major.
