University of Alabama The
demand for science teachers is always high.
Now,
more than ever, Alabama needs good science teachers. Teaching
Science at
The University of Alabama
Novice
teachers gain valuable, first-hand experience with students at local
schools throughout their educational coursework. Schools across Alabama and the U.S. are in need of good science teachers. Over the next 6 years science teachers will be hired for 75% of the classrooms in Alabama alone. This will be due to retirements, additional science added to the school curriculum, and a projected 15% increase in students. The task of teaching science will be difficult. Many changes are being planned to upgrade science in our schools. New teachers will need enhanced ability in science knowledge, innovative teaching, and expertise in using advanced technology in science classrooms and laboratories. The University of Alabama offers a science teaching program leading to certification which is outstanding in each of these areas. If you can meet this challenge we want you to contact us. The University of Alabama offers a wide array of degrees in science education. The Capstone College of Education has a long history extending back to 1844. The College is fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Alabama State Board of Education. This accreditation enables those who complete science teacher education programs to be eligible for reciprocal certification agreements in most of the United States, as well as being recognized overseas for teaching in other countries. Accepted students have a range of opportunities to fund their education as well. Undergraduate Degrees in Science Teaching Elementary/Early
