Transformative Education- Master of Education

Transformative Education is a Master of Education program jointly administered by the Departments of Teaching, Curriculum, & Educational Inquiry and Educational Leadership. It prepares educators to provide leadership in transforming teaching and learning in schools and communities. The program emphasizes educational sustainability—creating, nurturing, and continuing effective teaching and learning environments—through the inclusion of both a responsiveness to the specific needs and interests of individual educators and a foundation of shared learning (multicultural education, curriculum, leadership, and data-informed decision making). The program blends a core set of courses that encompass important educational issues with a choice of concentrations that provide both conceptual and practical benefits for educators and the students they serve, giving educators the capacity to synthesize research with knowledge of their students to make professional decisions. The program aims to develop educators who are innovative scholar-practitioners, collaborative leaders, and advocates for equity and social justice.

The M.Ed. in Transformative Education is open to both students with existing teaching licensure and those who do not have an existing license. This degree does not lead to initial license to teach.
