Graduate Certificate in Teaching Elementary Education

Virginia Commonwealth University

The graduate Certificate in Teaching Elementary Education prepares students to become teachers in PK-6 elementary schools. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of science, social studies, literacy and mathematics pedagogy and content. The program serves provisionally licensed teachers and those interested in the RTR program. RTR provides students field experiences during a one-year residency to expose them to classroom teaching and classroom management. Provisionally licensed teachers can complete clinical experiences in their own classrooms. Graduates will complete courses needed to teach in elementary (PK-6) classroom settings and meet the needs of elementary students. This program is available in an online format.
