As an elementary school teacher, you'll have an opportunity to build and develop a lifelong love of learning, reading, writing, math, language, science, art, and other subjects among the students in your classroom.

Elementary education is a meaningful, rewarding career path in which you will make a positive impact on the minds and social development of children.

As an elementary teacher, you will influence the intellectual development of children in school and classroom settings. You'll play a memorable role in their young lives by helping them understand and learn about the world around them. You complete coursework on subjects like:

  • Educational theory, research, and psychology.
  • Best practices in instruction, curriculum development, and learning assessment.
  • Legal and ethical issues in teaching.

Methods courses will enable you to practice instructional and assessment strategies. You'll learn about tools and technologies for teaching.
