Overview

You graduate level courses will focus on pedagogy, the art of teaching. You will take content methods courses as well as courses related to assessment, differentiation, and reading across the curriculum. You will also learn and participate in action research.

Key Features

Teaching middle-level learners means becoming a teacher in grades 4-9. Middle-level classrooms are transitioning from a self-contained primary classroom to the content specialization of middle school. Middle level philosophy embraces the notion that middle grades teachers need to be developmentally responsive throughout this transition by addressing the unique developmental needs of young adolescents. Teaching in the middle grades is often demonstrated by interdisciplinary teaming, flexible scheduling, integrated curriculum, and special programs to meet the social-emotional needs of young adolescents. So join the Middle Childhood Education degree offered by Wright State University.

Program Highlights

Direct feedback from schools and districts have shown that Wright State’s MCE program prepares teachers to be effective and work collaboratively with other teachers, administrators, and staff.

Over the past five years, 97 percent of Wright State’s MCE candidates passed the state’s licensure examinations.

Teachers prepared at Wright State consistently perform above the state average on the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES).

Wright State’s MCE program is nationally recognized by the Association for Middle Level Education (AMLE).

Wright State’s MCE program prepares middle level teachers to be well-rounded. Our teacher candidates are provided with opportunities beyond their two chosen content concentration areas.

Careers

Demand for teachers is high with many parts of the state and nation currently unable to hire as many teachers as they need. Areas with the highest need include special education (intervention specialist), math, science, world language, and teaching English as a second language (TESOL).

Teaching is unique in that it provides you an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of students, carry out your passion for your content area, and advocate for issues related to education. There are also plenty of opportunities to move up and through the education field, including becoming a lead teacher, administrator, school counselor, or to further your specialties through endorsements and certificates.

Educators with a master’s degree make, on average, $5,000 more annually than those with a bachelor’s degree. You may take an opportunity to move your career to advocacy, government agencies, or higher education.
