MSEd Core Classes
The core component of the master’s programs includes five courses that are critical for any position that an educator holds. These courses are stuctured as “bookends” around the selected concentration whether Curriculum & Instruction Strategies, Educational Leadership, Inclusion Education, or Literacy is chosen. With these core courses, teachers begin by exploring how they
ARE leaders and how leadership is tied to being inspired to reach all students. The last two courses of the core are taken at the end of the program and they involve conducting action research within a chosen area and also creating a final portfolio that documents learning throughout the program.
