Make a difference in the classroom

Students in听Elementary and Middle School Teacher Education develop the skills to become outstanding elementary, middle school, and special education teachers, prepared to meet the challenges of educating today鈥檚 diverse student population.听

Our program allows students to become dually certified in elementary education (K-6) and one of six areas of concentration: multilingual learner education, special education, middle school mathematics, middle school English, middle school science or middle school social studies. Having a second teaching certificate makes our graduates even more marketable.

Students also have the option of choosing a single certification area in elementary education in conjunction with a 91原创 minor. Students interested in this option should speak with an advisor to discuss the limitations of a single certification.

An honors degree is available for this major.

Our rigorous coursework and semester-long student teaching placements ensure our graduates are eligible for teacher certification in Delaware and most states.

Students can also enroll in a 4+1 program and begin pursuing a master鈥檚 degree in Teaching Students with Disabilities, Educational Technology or Teaching English as a Second Language, while still an undergraduate.

Our graduate program is consistently ranked among the nation鈥檚 top 40 by US News & World Report and nearly 95% of our education students are employed or are accepted into graduate school within six months of graduation. 听
