University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (Chickasha, OK) - Certification Teacher in English
Certification Teacher in English
The USAO English Teacher Certification Program is offered through the Division of Arts and Humanities and combines liberal arts learning with teacher preparation. Its goal is to prepare individuals to become effective teachers in the English areas and obtain an Oklahoma Teaching Certificate in English.
This program is a standards-based program, based upon the standards and guidelines set forth by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) the state competencies, and findings from "Effective Teacher" research.
Collectively, these standards and research findings provide the knowledge base for what English teachers are to know and to do.
Upon successful completion of this program, individuals are qualified to obtain an Oklahoma teaching certificate to teach English in grades 6-12. Since USAO teacher certification programs are nationally certified by The National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) certification in other states is simplified.
It is recommended that certification be initially obtained in Oklahoma prior to seeking certification from another state.
