Elementary Teacher Certification and Early Childhood Teacher Certification

Integrated Learning

Be a teacher who transforms the traditional classroom. Bring your students out into the world to experience education first-hand. This means breaking out the glue and scissors to bring stories to life with puppets and storytelling. It means writing and knitting and binding books. It means going beyond the confines of textbook learning. Elementary and Early Childhood Teacher Certification classes at AUNE spark the creativity students need to become great teachers.

Become an elementary school teacher in 16 months.

Get your master's degree and teaching certification quickly. Learn to design and implement a vast range of essential classroom skills. Manage your time, create your ideal classroom, and inspire your students to achieve. Specialize with concentrations in Science and Environmental Education or Arts and Humanities.

Take your students to higher levels without teaching to the test.

Teaching to the test has become prevalent in our nation's schools due to No Child Left Behind. Yet studies show that the methods our graduates use -- developmentally appropriate teaching, thematically focused pedagogy, integrated curriculum and placed-based learning -- are the most effective ways to promote student success and achievement, including learning that is measured on standardized tests.

Earn teacher certification that travels with you.

Not only will you learn alongside students from across the country, with myriad backgrounds and experiences, but earning your teacher certification here in New Hampshire gives you access to an interstate teacher certification association agreement, paving your way to certification in 42 other states.

Learn from faculty blazing a trail in progressive education.

Our faculty don't live in the ivory tower. They are recognized as national educational leaders, thinkers, and trainers. They work with educators across the country and bring this current, practical insight home to their students at Antioch University New England. They reach out through our national Center for Place-Based Education and our Critical Skills program, and through the networks of the Center for National School Reform and the Coalition of Essential Schools.
