Program Description

​Middle school students are incredibly diverse. They can be profound, absurd, honest, juvenile and everything in between. Their writing and conversations reveal wisdom, curiosity, interest, emotion, passion, deep understanding, and free-thinking energy. A middle childhood license in Ohio allows you to teach two content areas and reading in grades 4-9. Students in the Middle Childhood program take the Middle Childhood Education core classes and choose two content areas that they would like to teach to take classes in. The core classes teach methodologies and introductory practices for teaching subject matter. The content areas they choose will determine which methods and content courses they take as well as in which areas they complete their student teaching.

• Language Arts
  Language art teachers cover topics ranging from literature to blogs to newspapers. Findlay prepares you to teach by offering classes that cover speech, creative writing, journalism, and literature from all countries and eras. 
• Math
  Mathematics principles are varied in this age range. Class topics at Findlay cover statistics, calculus, pre-calculus, and algebra.  
• Science
  Middle childhood science takes students' understanding of the world to the next level. Learn how to teach in-depth concepts in biology, chemistry, geology, astronomy, physics, and ocean sciences. 
• Social Studies
  Engage students in connecting history with current events when choosing social studies as a content area. These content area classes cover fact-base classes like the history of the United States and the world as well as soft science courses such as sociology and economic thinking which will allow you to gain a more in-depth knowledge of historical events.
