Anthropology-Elementary

Western Washington University - Bellingham
The Anthropology Department offers a combined major in accordance with the Woodring College of Education requirements. Anthropology is particularly valuable for teachers, because it provides a broad understanding of human behavior. Teachers often work with students of various cultural backgrounds and an awareness of specific cultural learning influences, attitudes, motivations, and patterns of interaction is an integral part of working effectively and respectfully in diverse communities. This is the basis of the core subjects in cultural anthropology. This major satisfies the academic major requirement for teacher certification with an endorsement in elementary education and must be accompanied by the professional preparation program in Early Childhood, Elementary, and Multilingual Education offered through Woodring College of Education.
