Delivering Well Prepared Teachers Policy
Kentucky does not offer certification in general science for secondary teachers. Teachers must be certified in a specific discipline within the subject area of science.
Middle school science teachers in Kentucky have two options for earning the middle school specialization. The first is completing a major in science; the second is completing an unspecified amount of coursework in science and another academic field (e.g., English and communications, mathematics, social studies). Candidates must also pass the Praxis II "Middle School Science" test.
Kentucky recognized the factual accuracy of this analysis.
