• explore options for teaching a wide variety of subject/content areas;
• teach through experiences with licensed teachers in diverse schools; and
• research current elementary education practices involving instructional planning, methods, curricula, and assessment.

Candidates in the Elementary Education Program are supported by qualified faculty, university supervisors, and staff as they progress through their curriculum and clinical experiences. Candidates receive a solid foundation to become effective elementary education teachers committed to scholarship, lifelong inquiry, leadership, and social responsibility.
