About the Middle Level Program at Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø

Our mission is to create a community of learners who are competent and reflective professionals able to teach any child in any setting. Students are engaged in innovative, researcher-based instruction with the latest technology.

Students apply theory and practice in a wide range of educational settings and work alongside master teachers in best-practice Professional Development Schools. Students participate in 1000 Hours Field Experience in preschool and K-4 classrooms prior to graduation.

The four-year programs in Early Childhood, Elementary Education, or Middle Level Education are designed to offer students a curriculum of general education and professional and early childhood or elementary education theory, application, and practice in teaching children.
