The Elementary Education Major leads to the Bachelor of Science degree and prepares students for a teaching career in preschool through grade five. The Elementary Education Program is designed to develop knowing, sharing, caring teachers with a Christian philosophy who are generalists in content areas and who are specialists in child development. A collaborative shared inquiry framework is used to equip students with the competencies needed to link child development theory with developmentally appropriate curricula and teaching strategies.
At the completion of the program, if certification requirements for the state of Georgia have been met, candidates will receive an induction certificate in Elementary Education with a reading endorsement.
