Advisor: Kelly Krieble, Dept. of Physics & Earth Science
Moravian University offers approved programs leading to secondary-school teacher certification in Pennsylvania and states with reciprocal agreements in biology, chemistry, physics, and general science. Students in biology and chemistry complete a departmental major in the field. Students in physics may complete a departmental major in physics with a bachelor of science or complete Set I of an interdepartmental major in physics and Set II in mathematics. Consult the appropriate departmental listing for details. The general science major at the secondary and middle level is described below.
All students interested in the secondary program must select courses with the approval of the major advisor and science education advisor and must satisfy requirements for secondary teacher certification described under education. These requirements include EDUC 378 during the student-teaching term. In addition to general principles of secondary-school teaching, this course emphasizes development of effective teaching techniques and materials in the sciences and includes review of current science curricula, resources available to science teachers, and application of educational research to the teaching of science.
