Teach Future Leaders
Our goal is to produce passionate teachers who can deliver high-quality, developmentally appropriate instruction to help children achieve life-long academic and social success. Our Primary Ed. program gives you more classroom experiences than most universities. We utilize a cohort-based approach to teaching methods and pedagogy courses.
Curriculum and Courses
The courses required for this program will prepare you to earn your teaching license and immediately enter the field of education. You’ll extend your learning way beyond the classroom to every area of your life. Students participate actively in a variety of classrooms and communities, culminating in a 15-week, full-time student teaching experience in which they work closely with mentor teachers. A few of the courses you will take in this major include:
- EDP 256 Psychology of the Exceptional Learner
- TCE 242P Phonics and Literacy Instruction for Teachers
- EDL 318E Teacher Leadership and School Organization
- EDP 432 Assessment and Educational Planning for Children in Preschool through Fifth Grade
- TCE474P Classroom Cultures, Community, and Climate

Special Education + Primary (PK-5) Dual Licensure Pathway
Want to Enhance Your Studies?
This pathway allows you to apply for two teaching licenses – PK-5 general and special education – in four years. This makes you more versatile and marketable and provides coursework that develops your skills to reach all learners.
This dual licensure program includes a continuum of classroom experiences supported by both general education and special education teachers in area public schools. We utilize a cohort-based approach to teaching methods and pedagogy, with courses on teaching reading, language arts, science, mathematics, and social studies with universally designed practices that help you learn to teach a wide diversity of students.
This program has a built-in pathway for students interested in also obtaining a TESOL certificate to teach students who are English Language Learners.
