Secondary teachers impact the social, personal, and intellectual development of students in grades 7-12. Their influence stems from a love of learning, a talent for awakening students to new modes of thinking, an understanding of the human development process, and professional skills.

Each program is aligned with the developmental standards for both the early adolescence (middle school) and adolescent/young adult (high school) levels as defined by the Indiana Professional Standards Board.
