High school chemistry educators nurture imagination, problem-solving capabilities, and scientific passion in learners by guiding them through inquiry-based lessons, lectures, experiments, collaborative discussions, and hands-on activities. Effective chemistry instructors need comprehensive subject knowledge and diverse teaching methods to spark student interest and promote meaningful comprehension, helping pupils relate academic concepts to real-world applications.
The Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education with a Chemistry concentration equips graduates to teach grades 9-12. This curriculum combines essential chemistry coursework with practical classroom experiences in high schools, leading to Missouri teaching credentials.
This degree program collaborates with the Chemistry Department, providing access to research labs, instructional facilities, and advanced scientific equipment. While sharing core requirements with traditional Chemistry BA/BS degrees, it includes specialized courses mandated by Missouri's Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) for teacher certification.
