The Springfield College Mathematics and Education: Grades 5-12 teacher licensure program allows students to combine their passion for numbers with their fervor for teaching. The undergraduate experience begins by immersing students in mathematics courses, then continues by preparing future teachers to lead classrooms of students grades 5-8 or 8-12. Graduates successfully secure employment to teach in a wide range of settings, including in urban, suburban, and rural areas.

High school teachers generally teach students from the 9th through 12th grades. They usually specialize in one area. Some teach core subjects, such as math, science, or history. Others specialize in elective courses, such as art, music, or physical education. They may teach several different classes within their subject area. For example, a high school math teacher may teach algebra, calculus, and/or geometry.
High school teachers may instruct students from different grades throughout the day. For example, one class may have mostly students from the 9th grade, and another may have 12th-grade students. In many schools, students are divided into classes on the basis of their abilities, so teachers need to adapt their lessons based on students’ skills.
Middle school typically goes from sixth to eighth grades. However, in some school districts, middle school may begin in fourth grade or extend through ninth grade.
In many schools, middle school teachers are responsible for certain subjects. For example, one teacher may teach math to several different classes of students throughout the day. However, other middle school teachers instruct on every subject to a single class.
