- Description
- The Master of Education, Concentration in Elementary Education, will provide students with an in depth knowledge and understanding of the practical applications of the content, curriculum, and assessments used in elementary schools. Students enrolled in this program also will take a careful look at how social constructs, diversity, and equity issues impact schools. During the second half of the program students will engage in an action research project designed to address a current problem of practice in a school setting. This program is designed for individuals who hold an initial teaching license from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) or an equivalent credential, as well as for those seeking to enhance their professional expertise in elementary education. For students who already possess the initial license in Massachusetts, this degree may support eligibility for a professional license in Elementary Education (Grades 1–6) through DESE. (This program will not lead to an initial license in elementary education from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education).
