Bachelor of Arts - Education - Secondary Education

The Bachelor of Arts in Education program at Regis College offers several pathways for students to become teachers upon graduation. Students learn how to plan curriculum at appropriate grade levels, demonstrate the ability to synthesize theory and practice in both college and pre-K through 12 settings, and learn about curriculum at the appropriate grade level, including breadth, depth, integration, and application to a classroom setting.

As a teacher candidate, students must be able to create an environment where diversity is valued, where support and challenge are consistent expectations, and where collaboration in creating a community of learners is the norm.

MTEL preparation is integrated into a student’s curriculum plan, beginning with courses designed towards the Communication and Literacy Exam. Through practice tests, drills, class discussions, and short writing assignments, students will learn the expectations and best practices for approaching the test. As students’ progress to content specific exams, directed workshops are utilized to provide a personalized and intentional approach to the exams.

Secondary Education:

The Secondary Education program prepares future educators to work in public school classrooms from the fifth through twelfth grades. Students can elect to focus on either English or history as their major and future content area for teaching. The option may exist for students to gain the curriculum content in both English and history throughout their programming. Students must work closely with their advisor to pursue this option which would enable them to add an additional licensure post graduation.
