Middle School Teachers
In Oregon most prospective teachers prepare to teach either elementary and middle school or middle school and high school. So, you should consider the recommendations for either elementary or high school and have at least a strong minor in a subject that is taught at that level. For science we suggest 8-10 units in science including earth science, physical science and life science. For mathematics there are special licensure tests, therefore we recommend the following math/statistical courses:
Math 138, Soc 348, Psych 252, 253, or Econ 230: Statistics
Math 141, 142, or equivalent: Calculus
Math 251: Foundations of Advanced Math
Math 253: Linear Algebra
Math 486: Topics for Teachers
Math 499: Seminar
Ask whether these classes present multiple opportunities for group work, and peer teaching and/or alternative assessment.
