Overview

This Elementary Education degree at Rhode Island College is for individuals with a bachelor’s degree in a broad-based liberal arts field who wish to pursue certification to teach at the elementary school level.

The program is rooted in equity, diversity, advocacy, and social justice values. Through reading, discussing, writing, and hypothesizing, prospective teachers learn elementary education theories and practices. Students also begin to build and develop their own processes and methods, guided and informed by RIC faculty in partnership with elementary classroom teachers and students.
