The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate for Initial Teacher License for Read Specialist program at Worcester State University provides you with the theoretical knowledge and practical experience to obtain your initial teacher license in Massachusetts. The program is designed for recent college graduates with non-education degrees and people with professional or technical experience who are seeking to change careers. In classes conveniently offered in the evening and taught by experienced faculty, you will gain a thorough understanding of the state-mandated standards for teachers. You will then translate theory into practice through hands-on practicum experiences in one of the region’s middle or secondary public schools. Your studies culminate in a semester-long student-teaching practicum under the supervision of a teacher. At Worcester State, the Education Department has a long history of teacher education, and graduates of the post-baccalaureate certificate program are ready to meet the challenges of teaching in today’s diverse classrooms.
