To teach at this level, you would become proficient in your discipline, learning theories and adolescent development. Field placements, usually starting your junior year, in diverse school settings prepare you for the head of the class. Our Clinical Practice and Partnerships Office can connect you with opportunities to learn in and lead classrooms in a diverse offering of locations. Many of our students are placed in regional schools throughout Central New York — or urban centers that include Syracuse, Rochester and New York City.
