Overview

Coupling the Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (Grades PK-4) degree with the School of Education's Master of Science in Creativity & Innovation to create an accelerated BS/MS degree is just another in a long list of innovations that helps ensure that Drexel's programs remains the leading edge leader in producing outstanding teachers.

Key Features

This BS/MS Elementary Education PK-4th Grade and Creativity and Innovation program at Drexel University attracts pre-service teachers who envision preparing their students for the new economy(s) and jobs, as well as for the challenges and adventures that will continue to unfold throughout the 21st century.Twenty-first century students deserve 21st century teachers and education leaders, and this accelerated BS/MS program prepares the pre-service with the teaching and creativity mindsets to excel in that world.Creativity research makes clear that teachers who understand creativity—what it is and what it is not—as well as their own creative strength areas, are better able to recognize creativity in their students and capitalize on the knowledge to help advance their students academically. The coursework in the Creativity & Innovation component of the BS/MS degree specifically blends the cognitive theories and neuroscience of creativity toward assisting the pre-service teacher's understanding of creativity, the hands-on tools and techniques of actively developing their students' creativity mindsets through creating school and classroom environments that allow creativity and innovation to flourish, and the ability to build collaboration with colleagues and school leadership to implement and adapt those tools and techniques for the benefit of all within the school.
