The Middle Grades Education graduate program equips students to teach in grades 4 through 8. Educators specializing in middle school math and science are especially needed, with growing demand both in Pennsylvania and nationwide. Our College of Education and Human Development's Middle Grades Education curriculum ensures graduates gain extensive expertise in instructional methods while developing dedication to serving diverse pre-adolescent learners across cultural, socioeconomic, and regional contexts. The program aims to address teacher shortages by producing qualified educators. To achieve this, we emphasize developing strong subject-specific teaching skills that meet academic standards and address the varied developmental requirements of middle school students.
