Math Subject Matter Competency
In addition to the sequence of education courses, students wishing to become secondary teachers in Math must prove subject matter competence via state-administered test (CSET) OR subject matter waiver program. The SSCP encourages students to pursue the subject matter waiver program and to seek advising to see how best to count past coursework toward the waiver and to enroll in future courses that count toward the waiver. ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ pursuing the subject matter waiver have until the beginning of student teaching to complete required SMP coursework. ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ taking the CSET to prove subject matter competency must have passing scores for all subtests in hand when submitting the student teaching application.
Subject matter competence for the Single Subject Teaching Credential may be demonstrated by completion of the Option in Mathematics Education with (1) a 2.75 GPA or higher in required MATH, MTED, and STAT courses, and (2) no grade lower than a C in those courses.
