Health Science Credential Program
A Health Science teaching credential enables you to teach middle
school and high school Health Science. The credential has two major
parts - content and pedagogy (or health science content & teaching).
In order to demonstrate subject matter competency you must complete
prescribed courses in your field. An option is to successfully pass
the SSAT examination in Health Science. As you look at the list of
required courses, you will see that you must complete introductory
level courses in each area (breadth) and upper division courses in
Health Science (depth). The professional education courses will help
you learn how to teach. In these courses you will explore methodology,
classroom management and reading in the content field. You will also
learn about today's schools and how you can most effectively impact
the diversity of students you will find.
See the bulletin board outside HHS 2-115 for information about the program,
job opportunities, upcoming events and deadlines or visit the Health
Science Department
