Overview

Middle Level Education (6-8) of Delaware State University offers specific preparation for teaching in diverse classrooms, where there is a nationwide shortage of middle-school teachers — especially in areas such as math, science and world languages.

Because Delaware State has a reputation for excellence in teacher education, our graduates enjoy a very high job-placement rate and are often recruited by out-of-state districts.

Professional Preparation

All graduates become licensed teachers in the state of Delaware. They are prepared to teach fifth through eight grades, with two subject-area concentrations.

Students will develop professional teaching skills in:

adolescent psychology and emotional development

the use of technology in education

guidance and counseling

multicultural classrooms and global societies

literacy development

In addition, professional teaching organizations and the Council for Exceptional Children have campus chapters at Delaware State, providing career guidance and preparation to education students.
