Middle School Endorsement

A teacher who earns a Middle School Endorsement is more marketable when entering the teacher workforce.
The endorsement broadens the range of grade levels a teacher is licensed to teach. Elementary education majors can complete the necessary requirements to receive a Middle School Endorsement qualifying them to teach grades 5–8 in math, science, English/language arts or social sciences.
