Middle School Endorsement

For Middle School Teaching Endorsements in Illinois, a minimum of 18 hours of coursework in the endorsement areas is required. In addition, all middle grades teachers must have the following pedagogy courses:

EDUC 767 Early Adolescent Psychology
EDUC 768 Middle-School Methods

Students completing Olivet’s Master of Arts in Teaching program satisfy the requirement of EDUC 768 during the MAT program, but must take EDUC 767 to satisfy the Middle School Endorsement requirements.

Note:

All professional education, general education courses for teachers, major, endorsement, and supporting courses require a grade of “C” or better for teacher licensure and graduation.
