Mathematics Major: Teacher Certification Sequence

Students who complete the Mathematics Education sequence at Illinois State University earn Illinois secondary school teacher certification and move into classrooms of their own upon graduation. We typically graduate 45 to 55 new mathematics teachers each spring, consistently ranking near the top in the nation in the number of newly certified mathematics teachers. In Illinois, it is estimated that more than 1 of 10 teachers currently teaching mathematics claim ISU as their undergraduate institution.

The dedicated group of faculty members in secondary mathematics education teach courses in the program, advise students, observe clinical experiences in local schools, and supervise students' capstone experience, 12 weeks of student teaching.

This website is intended to provide current, former, and prospective students with information about and resources for becoming a mathematics teacher. High school teachers and counselors, university mathematicians and mathematics educators, parents, and others may also find useful information within this website.
