Elementary Education

Make a Positive Impact on a New Generation

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE

Stevenson University’s education programs are approved by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE).

A teacher is a student’s strongest pillar. At Stevenson, learn the foundations of effective planning, classroom management, and assessment of student learning. Beginning in the first year, you’ll have on-site field experience in diverse school environments. And as you advance through the program, you’ll be ready to gradually assume the roles and responsibilities of a classroom teacher.

Want to go the extra mile? Our Bachelor’s to Master’s Option allows you to graduate with a master’s in as little as five years.

• Apply knowledge of discipline content and content-related pedagogy to design and implement effective instruction for all learners.
• Use knowledge of diverse students to design instruction and create a culturally responsive, equitable environment to support achievement for all learners.

• Reflect on teaching, collaborate in a professional learning community, seek professional development opportunities, engage in inquiry, persist toward goals, and exhibit integrity and professionalism.
