Secondary English Education - CUNY City College

Secondary English Education from CUNY City College is a Campus Bachelor Teaching degree that prepares you for a Education career. The Secondary English Education Program's mission is to develop in youth the literacy skills, knowledge and dispositions to thrive in the world as is, and change it for the better. Towards this end, we develop outstanding English teachers who prepare their students to become confident, capable and critical participants in communities of readers, writers, and literature scholars. The pedagogy that we espouse to practicing and future English teachers mirrors the core belief that guides our own approach to instruction: students learn best when provided with opportunities to read, write, speak, and listen for meaningful purposes in authentic literacy contexts. Therefore, as we introduce a broad range of scholarship and instructional practices in the field of English education, we also guide candidates through assignments and projects that require reflective application of theories and methods within the practical realities of urban secondary schools. This ?reality? is marked by culturally, linguistically, socio-economically, and developmentally diverse school populations. Another focus of our program then is to understand the varied strengths of diverse learners and how they can best be used to promote literacy development and positive engagement with literature.
