Welcome to the Certification Program in Secondary Science

This handbook has been designed for students as a reference and a guide to navigating the various requirements and standards involved in the certification process. It includes information for both undergraduate and graduate students, so please make sure that you use the appropriate recommendations. You will find copies of many of the forms you will need along the way. Some of these are ready for use directly from the handbook, and can be found linked to the pages included in this Handbook Web site.
