Overview

Secondary-level teacher certification in Michigan permits individuals to teach the subject areas, in which they hold endorsements, at grades 6-12. The subject majors and minors provide the required coursework for the related endorsements. Completing the coursework and passing the corresponding Michigan Test for Teacher Certification subject test enable graduates to earn a Michigan’s Teacher Certificate which can be transferred to other states and to Canadian provinces.

The Secondary Education program from Lake Superior State University begins with students taking courses in their academic major (social studies, math, English, or science) and beginning education courses. Upper level education coursework, along with the completion of the major, is the focus for the junior and senior years.

Student teaching, a semester-long culminating experience, may be completed in the spring of the fourth year or the fall of the fifth year, depending on the individual student’s progress through the program. Generally, this student teaching experience will be in the Eastern Upper Peninsula or in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The Michigan Test for Teacher Certification subject test in the major must be passed prior to beginning student teaching.
