Teachers with a secondary level certificate will extend their subject area certification to grades 5 and 6. Additional course work may be required to ensure the student has at least two certifiable minors appropriate to middle/junior high school classrooms. Interested candidates must schedule an appointment with a certification advisor in the College of Education to review course work and state testing requirements for the endorsement and discuss how this program will develop into the Master of Arts in Teaching degree.
