Middle Grade Education (5-9) Teaching, Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
Upon completion of a degree in Middle Grade Education, candidates will:
- demonstrate the broad general background knowledge, dispositions, and skills necessary to function as a literate, informed, active citizen, and to serve as a model for middle level students;
- demonstrate the pedagogical skills and content knowledge necessary to meet Kentucky’s Teacher Standards in middle level classrooms;
- demonstrate the appropriate dispositions to effectively meet the diverse needs of middle level students in public school settings.
Candidates earning a degree that leads to teacher certification must take the PRAXIS Series (Professional Assessments for Beginning Teachers) and the PLT (Principles of Learning and Teaching) exams to be recommended for licensure in Kentucky. Candidates are encouraged to review the schedule for PRAXIS and PLT registration deadlines prior to beginning their senior year (www.epsb.ky.gov and www.ets.org/praxis). Specialty exams are required for each certification area sought and it may take more than one test date to complete all requirements. Candidates should confer with their education advisor/counselor to determine the most optimal time to take required exams. For additional information, candidates may also contact the EPSB Division of Professional Learning and Assessment at (859) 564-5778 or (888) 598-7667 (toll free).
