Overview

The major emphasizes a balanced program of rigorous mathematics content and practical pedagogical knowledge. Teaching expertise is developed through several semesters of progressively challenging and diverse K-12 public school clinical experiences. Students in the program will benefit from small class sizes and faculty who have demonstrated excellence in research and teaching as well as a commitment to K-12 public schools.

Public schools in the United States continue to need highly-qualified secondary school mathematics teachers. For the past 10 years, the Connecticut State Department of Education has deemed secondary mathematics a “State certified shortage area”. And the future for filling vacant positions does not look bright. Consequently, successful graduates of secondary mathematics education programs are highly employable.
