Career Opportunities

Students pursuing most majors in the College of Arts and Sciences and Professional Educator Licensure through the School of Education, Health and Human Behavior are presented with two career pathways; that of their major area of study, and that of a career educator. According to the U.S. Bureau of Education and the Illinois State Board of Education, the employment outlook for 2016-2026 is strong for high school teachers, both nationally and within the state. As is the case with all teacher education programs at SIUE, the secondary education program has an exceptional record of preparing highly effective teachers. Our graduates pursue careers as high school teachers in Illinois, Missouri and nationwide.

Diversity Statement

The School of Education, Health and Human Behavior teacher education programs are dedicated to supporting all teacher education candidates regardless of their economic or social status and advocate for the rights of students free from discrimination based upon race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, creed, religion, political belief, sex, sexual orientation, gender identification, ability or age.

The secondary education program is designed to facilitate teacher-candidate understanding that teaching is essentially a social enterprise invested with moral responsibility and that, as teachers, they will be called to act as agents for social justice in their classrooms and in their schools. Through readings, activities and class discussions, teacher candidates will examine attitudes and behaviors which prevent classrooms, schools and society from being fair and equitable for all students and will develop a personal plan of action for providing meaningful and equitable educational opportunities for all of their students. The secondary education program helps students acquire the dispositions, cultural knowledge and competencies to adapt their curriculum and instructional skills for culturally responsive classroom practice.
