Elementary Education, B.A.

Do you want to teach elementary school?  Trinity’s program in elementary education prepares you to meet eligibility requirements for teacher licensure in elementary education (grades 1-6) in the District of Columbia. Once licensed, candidates may apply for reciprocity in other jurisdictions.

You will complete field-based experiences during your first and second years of study, two semesters of a practicum during your junior year (four hours/week), and a final semester in a school for the student teaching internship (full-time). Student teaching internships are in the public, charter, and private school systems in the Washington metropolitan area, and placements are made by the university.

Our courses provide knowledge, skills, and field-based experiences and include performance assessments designed to demonstrate a teacher’s ability to impact student learning.
