Elementary education is the teaching of students up to fifth grade, approximately eleven years of age. Strong elementary school teaching is considered a gateway to achievement in high school and college, love of reading and ability to navigate the most complex scientific topics. In recent years, elementary educators have learned to focus not only on teaching, but curricular development and research.
