Program Description
The 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.
Currently there are three options for participants:
(a) Models of Instruction
(b) English as a Second Language (ESL) within the curriculum and instruction program
(c) Elementary Mathematics
Note: The ESL and Elementary Math options lead to endorsements from the State of Utah on current Utah teaching licenses.
Core coursework in research, theory, and instructional models or ESL issues is required of all participants, however, students select an area of emphasis for their final instructional project according to their interest or area of licensure in K-12 education including:
Fine Arts
Foreign Language
Health, P.E.
Mathematics
Language Arts
Science
Social Studies
Technology
The culminating project is unique to each student, but generally course work and many assignments are completed collaborativelly as students to work and grow together to pursue learning challenges.
