About the Curriculum

The Endorsement Plus Emphasis in Curriculum and Instruction, M.Ed. offers a comprehensive curriculum to enhance their teaching and mentoring at the school, district, and community levels. This emphasis reviews innovative instructional strategies, effective use of assessments for learning, and responsive curriculum design.  

Upon completion of a USBE endorsement in any area, a teacher may apply 9 (approved 5000-level) earned credit hours toward a Master of Education degree at UVU. Students typically take the remaining 21 credit hours in four semesters starting in summer: one or two classes per semester in the evenings at 5-8 pm.

The curriculum aligns with the AAQEP accreditation learning standards and the Utah Effective Teaching Standards. 

About the Master's Project as a Capstone

Near the end of the program, students complete a Capstone Project to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they've gained in the program and illustrate how prepared they are to lead their professional learning communities and to become a teacher leader/mentor.

  
Students have three options for their master’s project:

  1. A learning segment designed to advance teaching and learning
  2. A professional development addressing/intervening an educational issue
  3. A typical action research in education.
