Students will learn how to assess and address student’s diverse learning styles and competency levels in reading and writing, as well as how to create an engaging and effective learning environment. Liberty’s online B.Ed. will provide a foundation of middle grades teaching competencies, a wide-based understanding of essential learning theory, and a hands-on approach to practice with the program’s practicum and student teaching.
