Justice and Anti-Discrimination in Education (JADE) M.Ed.


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs

The M.Ed. in Justice & Anti-Discrimination in Education (JADE) (M.Ed. in Inclusive Education with a specialization in JADE) prepares teachers to be leaders and critical thinkers. Schools today are complex and diverse communities - reflecting a landscape rich with individual differences. Educators in our program are prepared using a unique combination of theoretical and practical experiences. This approach fosters the skills educators need to respond to the realities, demands and challenges of educational spaces while keeping a focus on equity, social justice, anti-discrimination and accessibility.

In this program, students will: 

  • explore educational equity, justice and intersectionality
  • identify systems that perpetuate oppression and inequity in education settings inside and outside of schools
  • develop leadership skills to help promote school equity

All students take five core inclusive education courses as well as the coursework for their community education specialization. For the JADE specialization, courses prepare educators to promote justice in educational settings and recognize the inherent dignity of each person. Our curriculum keeps justice central to how we prepare educators, using anti-discrimination as a critical lens for their work.

This program can be completed fully online or with a mix of in-person and online courses.
