The need for highly-skilled and passionate teachers is greater now than ever. Effective secondary teacher education programs feature a relevant curriculum that combines content knowledge with a solid foundation in the theory of education, adolescent development, classroom management and the use of technology in education without sacrificing robust subject-area knowledge.  This knowledge is complemented by clinical experiences and fieldwork.  

"Schools are strengthening content knowledge with frequent fieldwork, something that fits the nature of teaching as an art," Nick Plato, Managing Editor of Best Education Degrees said. "As a high school teacher myself, I have been through both undergraduate and graduate education programs and my experience confirms what universities are doing to improve their training."

Best Education Degrees utilizes statistics from reliable sources. Sources for the ranking include the National Center for Education Statistics, Payscale, U.S. News and World Report, college websites, and the National Council for Teacher Quality (NCTQ).  Four factors were scored to create the ranking: reputation (relying on the NCTQ and U.S. News and World Report), the annual ROI percentage, graduation rate, and tuition.
