• The Middle Grades Education graduate program prepares students for middle-level teaching in grades 4 to 8. Middle grades teachers, particularly in math and science education, are increasingly sought out and in high demand in Pennsylvania and across the country.
  • The College of Education and Human Development program in Middle Grades Education is designed to ensure that our students graduate highly knowledgeable about learning and teaching as well as committed to pre-adolescent learners from diverse ethnic, economic, and geographic backgrounds.
  • The goal is to produce certified teachers to fill the growing vacancies. Toward that end, our program focuses on building deep content-specific pedagogical knowledge aligned to the breadth of academic standards and the wide-ranging developmental needs of middle grades students.
