Russell Sage College has been preparing highly effective educators for more than 100 years. During this exciting time in our institution's history, we recognize the need to support our past, current, and future students, and therefore, the institution seeks a faculty member to teach and lead within our MS in School Health Education program. With a rich history in preparing future educators to be advocates for School Health Education, we look to support our students as they pursue working within the teaching profession. Our program predominantly serves recent college graduates from our Physical Education program as they pursue an additional New York State teaching credential. However, the program offers pathways for those looking to change careers, join the profession from a content rich undergraduate experience, or others seeking certification in NYS as a School Health educator.
