(Initial Program–Leads to Teacher Licensure) Grand Canyon University’s Master of Education in Secondary STEM Education program is designed for candidates interested in the education of adolescents and young adults in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) areas in grades 6-12 who are also seeking alternative route licensure in the state of Nevada. The format and courses of this regionally accredited and Nevada-approved program are tailored to meet the needs of the adult learner and to maximize the content knowledge that the candidate already possesses. Courses are taught by experts in their respective fields who share knowledge and experience in the areas of secondary education, STEM, and educational psychology. All courses are directly aligned with standards from the Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) and the International Society of Technology Educators (ISTE). Opportunities are provided to apply concepts, theories, and research throughout the program, but particularly in secondary education field experiences that guide students through 101 hours of observational and practice- based experiences. The final semester of this program includes a full-time, 15-week student teaching component. Teacher candidates are required to produce documentation of successful completion of required Nevada teaching exams that include content exams in biology, physics, or mathematics in order to progress in this program.
