i'm entering my junior year of high school and i need to start researching colleges. i would like to major in elemetary education, so that i may one day become a fourth grade teacher. my problem is that i don't know which colleges i should be looking in to. i live in cleveland and i've heard good things about bowling green state university, but i would like to attend college in a more urban environment. does anyone know of a college that is well known for their elementary education programs? (the school doesn't have to be in ohio, but if you know of one that would be great!)

Try Kent State University. My sister just graduated from the Salem campus in May with her Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. I don't know how urban the main campus is (I attend the Salem campus as well). The College of Education is very good there, and I think the degree is split into Preschool and Primary concentrations.

You want to get your degree in the State you wish to teach in. It will make your life easier in your first year of teaching.
Lets say you get your teaching degree in PA. Then you find a job in OH. The State of OH will only grant you a provisional license and require you to take additional CPE (continuing professional educ) your first year; this will cost you money and will stress you out your first year of teaching: with all the extra lesson planning and silly low person on the totem pole extra duties you get stuck with.
Base your school choice on where you want to live after college.

ball state university in muncie, IN has a good el ed department. also, if you don't mind going to a private school, North Central University in Minneapolis, MN has a good rep for el ed. It is also very urban. Right down town. Very good school, I went for a semester for music.
