Program DescriptionThe Master of Education Degree (M.Ed.) at Utah Valley University is an applied master’s program aimed at building the instructional skills and professional competency of teachers. The goal is to enable participants to become more proficient in selecting optimum research-based curriculum design strategies that best apply to specific teaching situations. There are two options for participants: (a) models of instruction or (b) English as a Second Language (ESL) within the curriculum and instruction program. (The ESL option leads to an ESL endorsement from the State of Utah.) While core coursework in research, theory, and instructional models or ESL issues is required of all participants, emphases allow students to select any of the teaching content areas accepted by the Utah State Office of Education for either an elementary education or secondary education instructional project. This breadth includes any of the following content areas, (a) fine arts, (b) foreign language, (c) health, P.E., safety, (d) mathematics, (e) language arts, (f) science, (g) social studies, or (h) technology. These content areas allow students to tailor their program to their academic interests and desired skill development. The M.Ed. requires 30 semester hours of graduate course work and completion of a culminating applied instructional project. Work toward and completion of the graduate instructional project is a necessary part of the program for a student to demonstrate the successful ability to determine, select, and implement instructional applications for learning at the school, district, or state level. |
