Welcome to the Secondary English Education Program at the University
of Kentucky! The English Education Program at UK is particularly proud that you are interested learning
more about this most challenging teaching experience. Students with whom
you will be working mature, learn, and explore at different rates, seemingly
in different directions during their Secondary English Experience. As
a classroom teacher engaged in working with young people during this time
in their life, you will make similar discoveries about better ways to
teach, to manage a classroom, to help a child learn. Applications to the MIC English Education program are considered once a year (shortly after the 1 February deadline) for the Summer and two-semester program in Secondary English Education. You will note that you apply to UK Graduate School, to the Master's with Initial Certification Program, and to the Teacher Education Program. Applications for masters, Rank II, Rank I and doctorate programs must be sent to the Graduate School, to the Director of Graduate Study, and to the Teacher Education Program. The English Education Program is approved by the Kentucky
Education Professional Standards Board and the National
Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). |

of classroom
choices and a wealth of field experiences. The combination of these
classroom and experiential activities result in graduates who are prepared

program faculty. We take pride in our prepartion for PRAXIS
II testing, a standardized test that is recognized by the ESPB for teacher
certification. Typically our students do very well on this measure of readiness
to teach in the Secondary Englishs. The Academic Services and Teacher Certification Office announces test dates and information on graduation deadlines. The web page that shows the certification requirements across the country is frequently visited by people who are graduating. |
