Elementary Education Schools Produce Qualified Teachers

For those interested in teaching young children, a degree in Elementary Education is an essential prerequisite for employment. Elementary Education Schools offer a wide variety of studies, specialties, and concentrations that instill basic knowledge and skills for understanding processes of teaching and learning.

Elementary Education provides a strong background in various disciplines to allow for entry into teaching careers in various venues. Graduates may teach in government settings, the arts, higher education classrooms, business, or in industries where basic teaching skills may be needed.

Elementary Education Schools offer several undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Diplomas and certificates from vocational schools and community colleges are possible, as are Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS) that satisfy some school requirements. Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Science (BS), Master of Arts (MA), Master of Science (MS) degrees are far more common. Bachelor, master, and doctorate (PhD) degrees are obtained from colleges and universities.

BA and BS degree programs follow carefully planned course sequences and supervised clinical experiences to ensure precise and complete professional development. The program prepares future teachers with as much versatility as possible to meet rapidly changing and diverse demands in kindergarten, elementary, and middle school classrooms.

Courses can include variations of subjects in communications, children's literature, social sciences, humanities, arts, mathematics, physical education, health, nutrition, human growth and development, elementary and middle education, literacy, teaching, and working with disabled and special needs children. Graduates will have developed skills for composition, handwriting, listening, social sciences, concepts of developmental and corrective reading, and classroom teaching experience.
