Ed.M. in English Education (Certification: Teacher of English)

Please visit the website.

Program Description: The Ed.M. program with (K-12) teacher certification in English education is designed for individuals who possess a bachelor's degree in English or a related field and who wish to pursue certification and a master's degree in education at the same time. Certificates are recommended only in conjunction with the completion of the requirements for the Ed.M. degree.

The program has three major goals:

• To encourage students to articulate and critique their vision of the teaching of English
• To help students develop a repertoire of instructional strategies that will help them enact that vision in the classroom
• To provide field experiences that will allow students to bring the research and theory they have studied into practice
