Our elementary education program prepares you to teach kindergarten through sixth grade in an elementary classroom and kindergarten through 8th in a chosen endorsement area.
As an elementary education major, you’ll learn how to confidently teach in the areas of literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies. Additionally, you’ll learn how to facilitate your students’ intellectual, social, emotional, and cultural development. At Iowa State, we’ll also prepare you to use cutting-edge technology in the classroom.
In our elementary education program, you’ll take classes that will challenge and support you to design an environment conducive to learning for your students, no matter their ages. In addition, you will have clinical experiences (practicum or field experiences) aligned to your course work. You will be getting into classrooms as early as your freshman year!
