License Additions

Mathematics (Middle Grades)

Middle school mathematics forms a crucial bridge between fundamental math instruction in elementary school and more advanced courses students will take in high school. Instructors who teach middle school mathematics can have a profound influence on students’ future success. This license addition has two tracks: one for an elementary teacher and another for a secondary teacher that will allow you to teach math in grades 5-9.
