The Primary PK-5 major leads to a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. Approved by the Ohio Department of Education, this program prepares graduates to teach students in grades PK through 5th in all content areas. In addition to meeting requirements of the Global Miami Plan, students take courses in Teacher Education; Educational Leadership; Kinesiology and Health; Family Science and Social Work; and Educational Psychology. During their study of justice-oriented and critically conscious curricula and pedagogies, students participate actively in urban and suburban/rural classrooms and communities, culminating in a 15-week, full-time student teaching experience in which they work closely with mentor teachers in Head Start facilities, and in area elementary schools, eventually assuming instructional responsibilities for all classes.
