English Teaching Minor Overview
At USI, you will learn the skills necessary to become an effective teacher of English. The English teaching minor is for students who are majoring in another content area that leads to licensure, but wish to add English as an additional area they can teach (grades 6-12). Good cognates with the English teaching minor are history and foreign languages. At USI, you will have the opportunity to work in an NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English) accredited program with faculty trained and experienced in education. Other advantages include extensive content-based knowledge, relevant workshops, and professionalization training, including teaching demos and interviews. Small class sizes, with under 25 students, cater to individuals who seek one-on-one interactions with faculty and mentors. The program is also nationally accredited by CAEP (Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation).
