Teaching Psych in High School
What type of certification would a district be looking for to fill a full time secondary psychology teaching position?
I am not certified for secondary but I have a BA in Psych and a Masters in Childhood Ed. I love Psychology and I would be the happiest person in the world if I could teach psychology.
What do you think they are looking for?

In my school, psych is offered through the social studies department, so I'd assume one would need SS certification? Not sure, though...

That was the same for the high school that I attended. However, this job opening is strictly for Psychology it does not state that they are responsible for teaching any other content area.

It's social studies cert, but most schools only offer a few sections of it. It's not always a full time psych position. It might be a few sections of psych with some gov't or something else is the social studies dept.

My school too.
ETA: I also agree with the poster who said that it would most likely be only a couple of sections of psych. and the rest history classes.

Re: Teaching Psych in High School
I taught psych and AP psych with a SS cert. But a science cert (not sure if it's any science cert or a specific one like bio?) can also teach AP at least (our science dept didn't want it)

Re: Teaching Psych in High School
Psych is part of the SS Dept in my school. We are pretty big and the class is popular, so we actually have 7 sections of AP Psych.
So, I guess it all depends!

Re: Teaching Psych in High School
it's usually through the social studies dept. but since you have a masters in Psych. and a teacher cert. in another area, they may be able to make an exception. however, it may not necessarily be a full-time job depending on how many sections of psych. they have.
