Elementary Education
The education program enables students to develop a strong foundation of knowledge about teaching and learning, display a love of learning, value democracy and pluralism, and engage in reflective practice about one’s growth as a teacher. To accomplish this, students will gain knowledge in several key areas: academic disciplines (content-area knowledge), foundations of elementary education, management of classroom learning environments, methods of teaching various subjects in elementary school classrooms, educational psychology and human development, and education of culturally diverse and special-needs populations. As students complete requirements for the bachelor’s degree, they are also eligible for a teaching credential for grades K-8.
