Overview

Plant the seeds of curiosity and create lifelong learners. Through the coursework and practical experiences woven throughout Franklin University ’s Primary Education (PK-5) program, you’ll be prepared for the high-paced, interactive and rewarding world of a preschool, kindergarten or elementary school teacher.

Through your Professional Education Component Courses, you’ll learn critical skills every teacher needs to succeed – from classroom management and lesson planning to teaching strategies and learning assessment, you’ll build a strong foundation for your teaching career.

Your “methods block” coursework hones your knowledge in key areas for primary school teachers. To ensure you emerge from the program prepared and well-rounded, you’ll be challenged to incorporate your learnings across several courses into one integrated unit plan.

In addition, to bolster your performance on the Ohio Assessment for Educators (OAE) Foundations of Reading assessment, a necessary component of Primary Education Licensure, the program contains a sequence of four courses concentrated on reading instruction.

Focus in on your licensure area with methods block coursework

Franklin's Primary Education program contains a methods block, a specialized set of courses that get at the heart of your particular teaching goal.
These courses focus on teaching in specific content areas – language arts, mathematics, social studies or science.
Moreover, the coursework in this block provides multiple opportunities for you to teach in front of a classroom and be provided with feedback to fuel your progress along the way.
