Middle Level Education - Mathematics Option, Bachelor of Science
The Middle Childhood/Early Adolescence degree provides quality preservice educational instruction and guidance in preparation for teaching grades 4-8. The program prepares and nurtures interdisciplinary teachers who understand the major concepts, principles, theories, and research on developmentally responsive middle schools, adolescent development, planning and implementing curriculum, assessment strategies, professionalism, and advocacy (AMLE, 2022). The program is designed around a conceptual framework which organizes learning expectations and experiences into manageable discipline-specific strands for the content areas of English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, or Science.
