Overview

Reading, writing, listening and communicating are some of the most important skills we learn as children. As we grow and face new challenges, these skills become vital for overcoming obstacles in positive ways. That’s why a language arts curriculum like the one at the University at Central Missouri should not only teach middle school and junior high students the subject but also provide them life skills. With the Middle School-Junior High School - Language Arts degree at the University of Central Missouri, we prepare you for this critical task at hand.

Program Learning Outcomes

The graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Education degree with a major in Middle School/Junior High School will use the knowledge and skills obtained in the program to:

Understand, use, and reflect on the major concepts, principles, theories, and research related to young adolescent development and use that knowledge in their practice. They demonstrate their ability to apply this knowledge when making curricular decisions, planning and implementing instruction, participating in middle level programs and practices, and providing healthy and effective learning environments for all young adolescents.

Understand and use the central concepts, standards, research, and structures of content to plan and implement curriculum that develops all young adolescents’ competence in subject matter. They use their knowledge and available resources to design, implement, and evaluate challenging, developmentally responsive curriculum that results in meaningful learning outcomes. Middle level teacher candidates demonstrate their ability to assist all young adolescents in understanding the interdisciplinary nature of knowledge.
