About the Program

Middle school students are incredibly diverse. They can be profound, absurd, honest, juvenile, and everything in between. Their writing and conversations reveal wisdom, curiosity, interest, emotion, passion, deep understanding, and free-thinking energy.  

A middle childhood license in Ohio allows you to teach two content areas and reading in grades 4-9.  If you are seeking challenges, opportunities to make a difference, and a rewarding career, then join us in the Middle Childhood program!

  • Language Arts 
  • Math 
  • Science
