For teachers currently holding a Middle Childhood Education license, adding a Middle Childhood Generalist Endorsement allows you to teach in a self-contained fourth, fifth, or sixth grade classroom. The endorsement may be earned in one content area or the two content areas that are not on your original Middle Childhood License. Findlay's Middle Childhood Generalist Endorsement provides all the state required content preparation and candidates will complete 50 hours of supervised field experience.
