NOTE: Please contact the Department of Professional Education for current updates regarding the Middle Level Endorsements in Communication Arts and Literature, and in Science Education.
The Mathematics endorsement meets the September 2010 Minnesota State requirements for teachers seeking to add a middle level endorsement. A four-week student teaching requirement and new competencies have been added to all middle level endorsements.
Please note: If the 5-8 endorsement is being added to a K-6 license, student teaching must be in grade 7 or 8; if the endorsement is being added to an old 7-12 license, student teaching must be in grade 5 or 6.
The endorsement is optional for students earning a professional teaching license. The credits can be taken in addition to a student's plan of study and can be taken each semester as their schedule permits pending noted prerequisites. Students enrolled in education have the opportunity to enroll as a graduate student. The endorsement can be obtained after successful completion of all course requirements.
