Elementary Teacher Education

EC-6 Core Subjects Certification

The bachelors degree in education with certification in EC-6 core subjects prepares you to teach children in pre-school and elementary school. Teachers in Pre-K through grade 6 work with children during their years of rapid learning, when they make great strides in their understanding and mastery of the principles of reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and artistic expression. Education students who seek to teach at this age level study math, science, English, social studies, art, music, and P.E., as well as how to manage a classroom and build a curriculum.
