Middle Level Education, B.A.
|
The University of West Florida (UWF) Middle School Education program trains teachers to teach students in grades 5 through 9 in Florida. Students graduating from this program are eligible to receive teacher certification by the Florida Department of Education to teach in classrooms for grades 5 through 9.
It is clear that the need in school-aged classrooms remains fairly constant. To meet this need, the Middle School Education program at UWF is designed to provide specialized training in order to implement best practices in education for students in middle school classrooms. The program is organized to allow students to satisfy the most recent Middle School Education Competencies and Skills promulgated by the Florida Department of Education. Graduates of the program are expected to be empowered professionals making a difference in the schools and learning communities in which they work and live. These graduates think, feel, and act with reason; analyze education policy and practice; and solve educational problems through effective interactions with students, parents, colleagues, and the public at large.
There are six tracks to choose from: Math/Science; Math/Social Studies; Social Studies/Science; English/Science; English/Math; and English/Social Studies.
