The Licensure and Master's Program (LAMP)

MIDDLE CHILDHOOD education

The Licensure and Master’s Program (LAMP) in Middle Childhood Education is a unique blend of theory with practice, developed and implemented by an interdisciplinary team of educators. This one-year program is designed to meet the needs of already degreed adult learners and is a comprehensive graduate program. Individuals who already hold a baccalaureate degree in a major other than education can, in one year, become a licensed teacher in the State of Ohio. 

LAMP graduates earn a Master of Education degree and an initial four-year resident educator license for grades 4 through 9 in two of the following content areas:

• READING/LANGUAGE ARTS

• MATHEMATICS

• Science

• social studies


Classroom Experience.
biology

Education courses and classroom experiences work hand-in-hand to give students a strong grounding; research has shown that our LAMP students finish these programs with the skills and knowledge of 3rd year teachers. In 2014, the Middle Grades program received the award for Outstanding Field Experience from The Ohio Association of Teacher Educators.

LAMP begins every fall semester in August and ends the following summer in June. During the program, students complete a one-year internship with a mentor teacher in a classroom setting while completing the required coursework on The University of Toledo’s campus. Students also have an early start option of beginning the program in January and completing the program in a year and half
