Elementary Education

Current students in the Elementary Education Program are expected to maintain the highest standards of professionalism and conduct. Our goal is to help you learn and grow and to prepare you to enter the teaching field.

The Elementary Education Program's culminating experience is student teaching during your last semester or being an intern during the last school year before you graduate.

Student Teaching/Internships allow students to practice what has been learned on the university campus and, more importantly, to continue academic and professional growth.

PRAXIS

Exam
You are responsible for two Praxis exams: your content area exam and the Teaching and Learning exam. You should take your content exam as early in the program as possible, as you must have taken it before student teaching. You must also pass the content exam before we can recommend you for licensure.
