物理和地球空间科学的教学专业（两个截然不同的课程）适合那些希望将其中一门课程教授5-12年级的人。随着科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域的不断发展，我们的课程将基础科学课程与教育部的教学课程结合在一起。这些教学专业的目的不仅是使您对物理学或地球空间科学有特殊的了解，而且还使您准备好将知识传授给课堂环境中的学生。课程设计为您提供了丰富的科学知识以及教学基础知识。教育课程教您自信地进入教室，从课程计划到表达自己独特的教学法。
The teaching majors in physics and earth-space science-two distinct programs-are for those who wish to teach one of these subjects to grades 5-12. As science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields continually develop, our courses combine fundamental science courses with the Department of Education's teaching curriculum. The teaching majors are designed not only to give you an exceptional understanding of physics or earth-space science, but also to prepare you to pass your knowledge off to students in a classroom setting.To be eligible for a middle/high school teaching license, you must take at least 60.5 credit hours in physics and supporting courses, or 45.5 credit hours in earth-space science and supporting courses, in addition to education courses. You can complete the program in four years. To make sure you stay on track, you'll have two academic advisors-one in the Physics & Earth-Space Science Department and one in the Teacher Education Department.<br>Curriculum design gives you a wealth of knowledge in the sciences as well as in the fundamentals of teaching<br>Education courses teach you to confidently enter a classroom, from lesson-planning to articulating your own unique approach to pedagogy.<br>Ability to enter the classroom within your first year, gaining experience very early on in your education<br>A variety of school settings give you practice with various teaching methods<br>UIndy's School of Education is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
