The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Secondary Mathematics Education is designed to prepare students to teach mathematics in Florida in grades 6-12. The program of study includes course work in mathematics as well as education, with extensive field experiences in secondary school settings in the FGCU five-county service area (Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, and Lee). These learning experiences enable students to integrate learning theory, research, and effective teaching practice. Students develop competencies that include content-specific knowledge, skills, and dispositions, applicable and responsive to the individual developmental needs of students, and to their varied and linguistic backgrounds in a supportive learning environment.
