The Master of Arts in English education is a one-year, intensive program designed to prepare you, as a practicing or transitioning teacher, for a career as a exemplary educator, teacher-researcher and leader in English language arts instruction. You develop a deep understanding of the English language arts by learning how to access, analyze and apply research and best practices for teaching secondary students (grades 7-12). This program balances the refining of disciplinary knowledge with pedagogical application of that knowledge in classrooms. You take contemporary methods courses, including advanced methods courses in English education research, teaching writing and text, teaching critical approaches to analysis of young adult literature, and teaching writing in an era of standardization. This innovative course of study culminates with an inquiry project using newly learned methods of data collection and analysis, a project that's related to English language arts instruction in secondary classrooms. The program empowers you to employ teacher research and inquiry to address questions you have about your own students' learning and your own teaching practice. The MA program in English education does not lead to teacher certification.
