Overview

Students may qualify for positions involving work with middle school-aged children in a variety of middle school settings. The education of teachers for middle schools focuses on teaching the whole child — drawing on the psychology of early adolescence to develop teaching techniques, materials, and curricula particularly relevant to children at this stage of development.

The senior practicum will be a semester experience in one setting within the 5–8 grade range. Coursework within grades 5–8 gives the student experience with both children of different ages and a variety of curricula, organizational structures, and grouping strategies characteristic of the middle school.

Students in the Middle School Education program offered by Lesley University must choose a liberal arts major to complement this major. Students may choose from 5 liberal arts fields:

English (Literature Track)
Earth and Environmental Science
History
Mathematics

Political Science
