This program is designed for any individual interested in the education of children in grades K-8 who is seeking teacher certification. Students who complete this program are eligible for credential. The format and courses included in this state and regionally accredited program are tailored to meet the needs of the adult learner and to maximize the content knowledge that students already possess.
Courses are taught by experts in their respective fields who share knowledge and experience in the areas of educational psychology, reading strategies, teaching methods and curriculum development. All courses are directly aligned with the Arizona Professional Teacher Standards and the Interstate New Teacher Support and Assessment Consortium Standards. Students apply concepts, theories and research throughout the program. Assignments guide students through over 130 hours of observational experiences, and the final semester of the program includes a full-time, 16-week student teaching component.
Graduates of the Master of Education in Elementary Education program are prepared to become informed educators in public and private schools and other settings requiring a teaching credential. Students are responsible for contacting their State Department of Education for certification requirements and program approval.
