The purpose of the Math Education Secondary Program is to provide highly qualified, effective secondary educators who are not only specifically trained in a specialized content discipline but also in understanding the needs, nature, challenges, and opportunities of working with young adolescents in the high school environment. A primary goal of this program is to equip high school educators with knowledge, skills, pedagogies, and frameworks that use research as well as cognitive and social development theory to meet the needs of the students at this stage of development. The technical skills, background knowledge and teacher dispositions are all critical to developing the best mathematics education teachers.
