Overview

The Urban Education - English Teacher Preparation for Grades 5-12 degree program from Metropolitan State University builds upon your content knowledge and empower yourself with the multicultural teaching skills and urban field experiences you need to give urban secondary students a high-quality, equitable education.

About The Program

The Urban Secondary Education graduate-level licensure program within the School of Urban Education (UED) is designed to meet the needs of urban middle and high schools for teachers who can improve students' educational achievement. The UED prepares prospective secondary teachers who can use their understanding of diverse urban learners and communities along with content knowledge and build on the talents and resiliency of their students for success in school and life.

The approach to educating language arts teachers focuses on preparing diverse, reflective and resilient teachers who are outstanding in their commitment to teaching urban youth and creating equitable educational opportunities. We attract more teacher candidates who are of color, multilingual, low-income or ""first generation"" into teaching careers than any other program in Minnesota. As a result, our teaching candidates can relate to the experiences of culturally and linguistically diverse urban youth and their communities.
