Master's of Education in Elementary Licensure and Education
The University of Phoenix's Master of Arts in Education/Teacher Education Program is designed for those who already have a bachelor's degree and want to earn a Master's Degree in addition to elementary teacher licensure. The program helps students become successful educators by teaching them necessary knowledge and skills.
The program's philosophy is to provide those who already possess a degree the opportunity to become an educator. Charlotte Danielson's "framework for teaching" is emphasized in the program to help educators learn the responsibilities of their profession. The framework focuses on teacher responsibilities that have been proven to encourage involved learning among students. The online program concentrates on P-12 student learning.
The program prepares teachers to combine their teaching methods with curriculum standards to improve learning in the classroom. The curriculum focuses on educating teachers to have an influence on their students' learning and to have experience in the following areas:
- State and National Standards
- Curriculum Design and Assessment
- Learning Theory
- School Law and Ethics
- Classroom Management
- Teaching in Diverse Environments
- Instructional Strategies
Those interested in program enrollment need to contact their State Department of Education to learn licensing requirements.
