Master of Education [M.Ed] [Art Education] From Colorado State University

The Master of Education degree is built on research on teacher change and is designed to prepare teachers to lead school reform, requiring completion of an emphasis area of their choice; of a core of pedagogy courses focusing on literacy, instructional technology, and differentiation of instruction; and of a core of courses focusing on professional growth. The National Board Standards and certification process form the heart of the M.Ed. core and assessment process.

CSU-Pueblo?s Masters in Education has a number of defining characteristics. This program is based on the assumption that participants will be licensed teachers who are currently teaching and thus will prepare teachers to become ?Master? teachers in their classrooms and schools. The program is aligned with National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) core propositions and is built around a core of proficiencies that are consistent across most NBPTS certificates, as well as the Colorado Standards for Teachers. Since the core is aligned with NBPTS generalist certificates, this program is flexible in supporting teachers who seek NBPTS certification in any of the generalist areas (such as Science or English) as well.
