The Elementary Education program strives to prepare elementary teacher candidates for twenty-first-century schools. Students in the program develop the necessary skills, knowledge, and dispositions to create socially just classrooms for all learners. During the first two years, students complete program requirements designed to build knowledge of content across multiple disciplines. During the final two years, students are admitted into a cohort. In this cohort, students develop pedagogical knowledge and skills in elementary methods courses focusing on critical reflection, racial equity, culturally responsive teaching, and integrating technology. A key part of the Elementary Education program is completing several extensive field experiences in elementary classrooms, culminating in a year-long student teaching experience.
