Objectives
In keeping with the College objectives, the MAEd has
been designed based on the assumptions of the graduate program in
education, that educational policies and procedures are constantly
changing and the practices of tomorrow may have little resemblance
to current modes. Thus, this program will empahsize the development
of individual's professional capacity as a self-perpetuating facet
of the present and future personal development. Specifically the
program will provide students with challenging course work, which
will increase awareness of current educational theories, application
of theoryto curriculum and instruction, understanding and
participation in research and leadership roles in education.
The program has been designed to permit the student
to continue working and at the same time obtain a masteral degree
within two school years.
The Master of
Arts in Education (MAEd) program is directed towards producing
graduates who:
-
Care about and value students.
We expect our graduates to view all students as having the
potential to learn and succeed, regardless of cultural
background, gender, ability and/or handicapping condition.
-
Possess a knowledge base that links theory and research with
practice.
We expect our graduates to be reflective practitioners who begin
with knowledge of the teaching/learning process, curriculum
content, child development and students' social behavior in
order to make effective and extricable decisions.
-
Teach content and critical thinking skills through a
student-centered approach.
-
Work in a cooperative, collaborative manner.
-
Are committed to life-long learning.
We expect our graduates to be committed to scholarly
responsibilities such as continued academic growth, professional
membership, as well as developing their certification fields.
