Why This Program?

Educate and Empower Students to Transition to High School.

The exact topic area of expertise for a middle school teacher will likely vary depending upon the course(s) they are teaching, and that is the way this endorsement program is designed, from a wider lens to fosters the general skill sets needed to be a superior middle school teacher. While the regulation and classification of middle schools can vary, middle school is the educational stage between primary school and secondary school, commonly framed as 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. This degree will help our future educators gain a thorough understanding of the development phase of middle school students, excellent communication skills, and the ability to create engaging curriculum for their individual area of expertise.
