iPad® Equipped
Beginning in June 2012, our Master of Education will provide an iPad for each student, and the program's cutting edge curriculum will utilize iPad features to assist students in mastering the degree content and showcasing their growth as professionals. Relevant iPad Apps will be incorporated into individual course curriculums, and the iMovie App will enable students to compile video portfolios of their pedagogical skills. iPads will be distributed to students in the Teacher Effectiveness course at the beginning of their program, and, upon graduation, the iPads will belong to the students themselves.
Introducing Two New Concentrations
The Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree program is designed to provide relevant educational opportunities for educators to develop as practitioners and educational leaders. The curriculum for the degree, offered in traditional and blended-online formats, consists of courses totaling 30 semester hours, with no transfer credits or electives permitted. The program accepts students in cohorts of 15-24 students who begin their courses in June and finish 14 months later in July. Except for summer course work, when Saturdays as well as weekdays are utilized, courses during the school year are conveniently offered on Saturdays in a unique delivery system. The model emphasizes teamwork, cooperation, professional support and sharing of knowledge among students. Lifelong friendships are developed though this format and learning takes place in a spirit of unity, rigor, and cooperation. The M.Ed. has recently been revised to include two new concentrations for maximum depth, relevance, and flexibility.
