WHY STUDY MIDDLE GRADES MATHEMATICS EDUCATION AT TIU?

Knowledge of mathematical theorems, critical problem-solving, and classroom management is useless without the opportunity to put it into action. During your time here at Trinity, you will have the chance to engage in classroom observation, lesson planning, and student teaching at local middle schools.

WHAT WILL I STUDY?
