The History/Social Science Teacher Certification Program will prepare an individual to serve as a secondary educator (grades 6-12) in the state of Illinois. Admission to, and retention within, the program constitutes the program's acknowledgment of the candidate's potential as a successful, exemplary teacher.
In keeping with the desire to recommend for certification only the most promising educators, students pursuing certification must have both a strong academic record and a demonstrated desire and ability to facilitate learning. In addition, the student will follow a carefully constructed and monitored course of study, designed to meet the standards developed by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), the National Council for Social Studies (NCSS), and the various discipline-specific national organizations.
