Master of Education Program Description |
The intent of this online option to the existing M.Ed. program is to build on the current on-ground graduate programs in education, and respond to the critical need in the state of Maryland and the nation for highly qualified teachers, and address the current critical teacher shortage.. The fully online delivery format will increase access to those students not in the immediate Goucher on-ground market area, and allow the program to serve a larger student base. An online option for the M.Ed. program will be responsive to our stakeholders and will enable students who cannot access the campus to customize activities unique to their assignment while gaining a broad understanding and appreciation of the content, skills, strategies and applications of coursework. <br> <br>Goucher College's Master of Education degree and Professional Development Certificates are designed with a curriculum that integrates theoretical and practical course work in ten areas of specialization: <br>• Athletic Program Leadership and Administration <br>• At-Risk & Diverse Learners <br>• Literacy Strategies for Content Learning <br>• Middle School Specialization <br>• Montessori Studies <br>• Reading Instruction <br>• School Improvement Leadership <br>• Reducing Student, Classroom, and School Disruption: Prevention and Intervention <br>• Special Education for certified Elementary and Secondary Teachers <br>• Teacher as Leader in Technology <br> |
