This program prepares students for careers as teachers of single subjects in the secondary school.

Students who wish to teach at the secondary level must have completed a major in the subject they wish to teach. Subjects for which our teacher education program prepares students for initial licensure are: art, English, mathematics, biology, and business. We also offer minors or second endorsements in general science, and physics. This secondary program requires one year of full-time study, including 12 weeks of supervised student teaching.

Our teacher education programs are approved by the State of Iowa and incorporate all regional and national standards. But only in this program can you become an expert in Consciousness-Based^SM education, a thoroughly researched, systematic approach to the development of every student’s health and full mental abilities. This approach awakens your students’ total brain potential, so that they are naturally focused and eager to learn. The expansion of students’ creative intelligence saves them from making mistakes in life and sets them on a path of growing happiness and achievement.

As a teacher in training, you will grow in the qualities of an ideal teacher — confidence, creativity, resourcefulness, vitality, and kindness. You’ll learn to cultivate the precious potential of the world’s children and prepare them to lead the world to a better time — where every school in the world radiates lasting peace to its community and to society as a whole.
