It has been said that those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it, so learning about history must be incredibly important! Unlike secular universities, FBBC teaches students actual history, that God is the author of all history, and how to teach history in an engaging way to the next generation. In light of Faith’s accreditation, graduation from this program makes you eligible for state licensure and would qualify you to teach both in Christian and public schools.
Faith is approved by the Iowa Department of Education, which means our graduates are eligible to receive Iowa teacher licensure. Our students consistently perform well on the Praxis exams for state licensure. The 2022 graduates had a 100% pass rate for the exams!
The Education Program at Faith is authorized by the Iowa Department of Education to offer five endorsements, which you can earn by taking online classes. Taking these courses will add to your credentials and may also satisfy continuing education requirements.
About the Course
What if we trained teachers to communicate history in such a way that future students ran to their class instead of trying to avoid it? Let us face it, not all high schoolers love history, but we want that to change. Teaching Secondary World History will help you learn how to creatively connect with the students that God puts in your class.

My professors at Faith were incredible. Not only were they knowledgeable in their professions, but they took the time to personally be involved in our lives. In the process of becoming teachers, they mentored and prepared us to be the best teachers that we could be. Not only did I feel prepared professionally, but I also felt prepared spiritually. In many of our education classes, we were reminded that having a prepared heart is far more important than having an elaborately prepared lesson. Another aspect that I enjoyed was being able to network and build connections into area schools, both public and private. For me, this was invaluable because it ultimately led to me being hired in an area Christian school a few weeks before graduation. Overall, I am incredibly thankful for my education at Faith and for those professors who poured into me then and those who still check up on me and mentor me to this day. I would highly recommend Faith to anyone who is seeking to become an educator.
