Certification Information
Corps members teaching in Delaware receive their certification by completing a course of study at Wilmington University that is specially designed for Teach For America corps members, with classes offered one evening a week in an executive-style format. Wilmington University also offers corps members the opportunity to receive master’s degrees via a two-year Master of Elementary Education (MEE) program for elementary teachers or a one-year Master of Arts in Secondary Teaching (MAS) program for secondary teachers.
