Education Elementary and Middle Level Education - Lock Haven University

Education Elementary and Middle Level Education from Lock Haven University is a Campus Bachelor Education Management degree that prepares you for a Education career. The Pennsylvania State certification requirements have recently been changed to redefine the former Elementary Education certification (grades K-6) as Elementary & Middle Level Education certification, now grades 4 - 8 (ages 9 - 13). This degree will prepare you to be certified to teach in grades 4 - 8. You will select a content specialty area such as Language Arts/English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, or a combination of two of the areas. A strong foundation of teaching methodology is combined with many diverse classroom experiences beginning your freshman year for practical, hands-on learning in a variety of socio-economic and racial/ethnic settings and including special needs students. In your senior year, you will take a block of courses and experiences devoted entirely to the methods of teaching and classroom management. The student teaching semester will place you in two different classrooms for seven weeks each where you will be responsible for teaching the class under the supervision of an experienced teacher. Your assignments will usually be within a 50-60 mile radius of the LHU campus. You may also choose to student teach abroad at one of our partner universities in such countries as Australia, Ireland, England, Spain and Croatia. The current retirements of ?baby boom? generation teachers is creating a high demand for teachers at all levels. Many of our graduates have secured immediate employment upon graduation in schools throughout Pennsylvania and across the country. View more details on Lock Haven University .
