Curriculum

The 128-credit BS in Teaching Mathematics, Grades 7-12 (Initial Certification) is designed to equip educators with the skills to evaluate their teaching methods critically and seek ways to enhance them, particularly for historically marginalized students. Through this program, students tackle issues of fairness in math education and strive to create inclusive approaches to help all students succeed in learning challenging mathematical concepts while overcoming barriers. Participants gain insights into equitable teaching methodologies and approaches for teaching mathematics in high schools, as well as a deeper understanding of the educational growth of teenagers.
