High School Education

The High School Education programs draw on Lesley's renowned resources in education and the liberal arts to prepare highly effective educators for today's high school students. In Lesley's high school programs, our students:

  • learn practical classroom skills for working with diverse student populations;
  • receive a thorough grounding in best practices for instruction and assessment in their subject area;
  • encounter the most current research and theory on adolescence and high schools;
  • think critically about contemporary high schools;
  • broaden their subject area knowledge base;
  • engage actively with current educational technologies;
  • conduct action research; and
  • practice new-found skills and knowledge in high school classrooms.

PLEASE NOTE: Beginning September 1, 2009, all new applicants seeking admission to an initial license program must submit evidence of having taken, or registered for, the Communication and Literacy Skills Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL). Effective Fall, 2010, all students seeking a first initial license must pass all portions of the MTEL(s) required for their licensure program to be eligible for student teaching or practicum.
