Mastering the Content

The Ready2Teach program will meet the standards of content knowledge requirements as well as any other teacher education program.  As our students matriculate through their respective programs, the content will be applied to teaching and educational contexts, culminating in the integration of content and experiential pedagogical methods in their residency year.  At all points in the four-year curriculum, professors will model research-based best practices in teaching.  In Tennessee, a content degree is required of all teachers, typically with an education minor.  For secondary educators, the content degree typically is in a single content area, such as math or English.  Elementary educators typically major in interdisciplinary studies, which provide coverage of content areas that elementary teachers are required to teach.
