Primary Education
As a primary education teacher, you will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on every child you teach and help each child develop a love of learning.
Overview
About the Program
Children in the primary education years (ages 3 – 10) are filled with curiosity, energy, and a sense of wonder about the world around them. As a primary education teacher, you will have the opportunity to make a positive impact on every child you teach and help each child develop a love of learning. Young children need teachers who are dedicated, knowledgeable, lifelong learners, organized, and positive in their approach. If this describes you, primary education may be the right career choice for you.
The primary education program is a dual program that gives you two licenses, PK-5 primary education and PK-5 intervention.
