Programs Preparing Entry-Level Science Teachers


At the Warner School, we do not just prepare teachers to survive in today’s schools; our graduates are reflective practitioners who are committed to social justice, equity, and school reform.

Whether you are looking for the Basic Program to complete requirements, a Dual Certification in inclusive education, or if you are seeking an M.A.T. to strengthen your background in science while obtaining your basic NYS certification, we have a program that will help you gain more than just credentials.
