Our UNM College of Education & Human Sciences (COEHS) program strives to prepare teachers to meet the diverse needs of New Mexico children. We celebrate the rich cultures of New Mexico and have designed our curriculum to reflect their unique needs. The secondary Education student teaching program is an apprenticeship that straddles two places to learn; a working classroom and the university. Our goal is to weave together the learning that occurs at both locations. Instruction at the university complements the learning that occurs in the field under the guidance of an experienced Cooperating Teacher. A program that prepares individuals to teach students in the secondary grades, which may include grades seven through twelve, depending on the school system or state regulations. May include preparation to teach a comprehensive curriculum or specific subject matter.
