Elementary Education Graduate Certificate

The graduate certificate in Elementary Education is intended for those seeking to develop a knowledge and skill base that undergirds effective, equity focused teaching of elementary age learners from a range of backgrounds. A graduate certificate in Elementary Education is appropriate for K-12 teachers endorsed in areas outside of Elementary Education, K-12 teachers endorsed in Elementary Education at the undergraduate level, administrators and supervisors aspiring to lead schools at the elementary level, non-endorsed professionals whose work (e.g., museum, public-service agency) interfaces significantly with K-12 education, and those interested in home schooling. Coursework in this certificate is designed to lead to an additional endorsement in Elementary Education for teachers licensed in other areas in the state of Tennessee, pending transcript review, passing appropriate licensure exams, and recommendation of the faculty advisor. Home department: Theory and Practice in Teacher Education .
