Program Description
ODU's Primary Education program prepares graduates for an Ohio teaching license to teach pre-kindergarten through grade five.
Because primary teachers typically teach all subjects, students are expected to take courses across the curriculum. ODU's Primary Education program provides general education classes and a range of professional education courses while integrating theory, practice and educational technology.
In addition, ODU students participate in extensive field-based experiences in diverse primary education settings prior to student teaching.
Candidates can pursue Intervention Specialist as their second major (licensure).
Coursework is also available for a P-12 Reading Endorsement.
The program models guidelines of the Ohio Department of Education, the National Association for the Education of Young Children and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
