Elementary/Middle Level Education (4-8): Mathematics
Train to become a middle level math teacher.
As a middle level education major, you’ll learn to teach middle school age children and earn a Mathematics teaching certification.
This course of study is required for a grades 4 through 8 teaching certification. You’ll be prepared as an upper elementary teacher generalist and middle level teacher specialist, though it is designed primarily as a concentration in the education of upper elementary (grades 4-6) and middle school students (grades 7-8).
The Mathematics track will prepare you to become an expert in mathematical concepts and learn the best practices and strategies for applying them in the classroom. Field experiences are integrated with coursework beginning freshman year.
What Sets Us Apart
Gain hands-on experience early
Teacher candidates are prepared outside of the classroom through field experiences, which are integrated with coursework, and begin as early as freshman year. Through a prominent curriculum, and progression through field experiences and the program, you'll be equipped with the knowledge, skills, and competencies required for a successful teaching career.
Prepare for focused study
As a middle level education major focusing on Mathematics, your coursework will include a study of curriculum planning, teaching, learning, assessment, and technology integration, and a required field experience will give you real-class experience before you graduate.
