Middle Childhood
The middle childhood licensure program develops expertise in working with children in grades six through nine. In addition to a substantive background in the liberal arts and humanities through the university core, the program prepares middle child educators in two of four content areas: language arts/reading, math, science, and social studies.
You’ll gain teaching, theoretical, and practical knowledge and experiences in understanding the nature and learning styles of young adolescents and the middle school environment. Candidates in the program also benefit from multiple experiences in the planning of appropriate lessons for specific subject areas and for interdisciplinary lessons.
