There are three avenues for certification in biology teaching. Generally speaking the job opportunities are not as good for students certified to teach just biology.
Certification requires two forms to become formally admitted to the certification program.
A teaching field form to list courses in support of the fields to be taught. A copy of the teaching field form can be obtained in Suite 107 of Harrington Tower on campus. The certification plan must be filled out with an EDCI advisor in Suite 107 of Harrington after the teaching field form has been filed. Health and Kinesiology majors use a specific teaching field form which students can obtain in their respective departments. Advising concerning the general background and teaching courses required for Health and Kinesiology students is done through their respective departments.
