Secondary Education

Did you have a special teacher in your life who really made a difference...helped you to see things in new ways, opened your eyes to new opportunities and your own possibilities?

High school teacher and student sharing a laughNow imagine yourself having that kind of impact on someone else...or better yet, many others. That is what being a teacher is all about.

At Champlain, you'll start working with students during your first semester and Champlain has a proven track record as an ideal training ground for today's teacher. We want to cultivate those special teachers of tomorrow who will make a difference in their students' lives. Students interested in certification for high school English teaching will focus on literature, writing and drama courses. Those pursing certification for high school Social Studies will focus on the study of History, Geography, Economics and Government.

Licensure at the high school level (grades 7-12) requires you to major (30 credit hour minimum) in the content area you wish to teach. Champlain's English and Social Science departments have an extensive list of course offerings to create strong majors in English and History/Social Studies. There are two content area options available: an English major with a History minor (18 credits) or a History major and an English minor (18 credits).
