Program Description
Support & Educate Children as They Grow Their Personalities & Explore Their Interests as Middle Schoolers
Working with adolescents as an educator is not without its challenges, and two-fold, its rewards. Continue to shape the intellectual and explorative minds of young people, providing a safe, supportive, and structured environment where they gain more independence and freedom to make important choices.
Catawba’s Middle Grades Education program prepares students for North Carolina initial licensure to teach students 6th through 9th grade. Majors will select from four concentration areas (English Language Arts, Social Studies, Mathematics, or Science) and are encouraged to select dual concentrations in either the humanities or STEM areas.
Majors can choose a non-licensure or licensure pathway. Students selecting a licensure pathway will complete requirements in addition to the courses in the major (student teaching semester, licensure exams, and edTPA portfolio) to qualify for NC state licensure.
Catawba's Teacher Education programs are approved by the North Carolina State Board of Education and the Department of Public Instruction for licensure of our graduates. With a rich tradition of developing excellent teachers that dates back to 1925, Catawba College’s Education graduates enjoy great success in securing jobs or admission to graduate programs immediately after graduation.
