The Master of Education: Teaching - Elementary Education program provides professional education courses at the graduate level, although students found deficient in a particular content area may need to complete additional undergraduate courses in order to meet state content requirements. The program is designed for post-baccalaureate students who wish to teach a comprehensive curriculum to students in grades PK-6 that prepares students for the 21st century and ensures that equal education opportunities exist for all learners. Through the state of West Virginia in Elementary Education, candidates will complete both a master's degree and be eligible to receive certification. Should candidates not complete co-requisite course requirements, they may still complete the Master of Education: Teaching - Elementary Education degree, but may not be eligible for a West Virginia teaching certificate. Applicants are encouraged to submit their official undergraduate transcripts for review prior to starting courses. The Elementary Education program also includes fieldwork and student teaching on school sites. All courses other than the student teaching are offered online. This West Virginia State approved program is aligned with Interstate National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), and New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) standards.
