The goal of the Elementary Education Program at Robert Morris University is to prepare future teachers with the necessary background, understanding and skills to provide a rich learning environment for their students. It is important to develop a meaningful educational philosophy and know how children learn in order to implement successful teaching practices and sound pedagogy. Elementary education students at RMU are provided with an effective blend of content, technology, learning theory, methodology and practical field experiences.

The mission of Robert Morris University education programs is to develop candidates who support the intellectual, social, and personal development of all students. Our programs prepare undergraduate and graduate candidates to be sensitive educators who strive to increase K-12 student learning through the integration of technology, effective communication skills, and the application of theory into practice and improve the teaching profession.

"I've had the opportunity to have several RMU student teachers, and I've been impressed with the superior training, skills, and experience they bring to the classroom. RMU does an excellent job of preparing their students for their future."
~ Maggie Amelio, teacher at Brooks Elementary School in Moon Township
