Middle Childhood Education, BSEd

Wright State University

Wright State University's middle childhood education (MCE) program will prepare you to teach grades 4-9. Choose two content areas: math, language arts, social studies, or science. The undergraduate MCE program with licensure has received university and state (Ohio Department of Higher Education) approval. You can enroll in this pathway to licensure. Teaching middle-level learners means becoming a teacher in grades 4-9. Middle-level classrooms are transitioning from a self-contained primary classroom to the content specialization of middle school. Middle level philosophy embraces the notion that middle grades teachers need to be developmentally responsive throughout this transition by addressing the unique developmental needs of young adolescents. Teaching in the middle grades is often demonstrated by interdisciplinary teaming, flexible scheduling, integrated curriculum, and special programs to meet the social-emotional needs of young adolescents.
