The Master of Education in Math/Science, 5-8 program (Inclusive Education M.Ed. with a specialization in Math/Science, 5-8) prepares teachers to be leaders and critical thinkers. Schools today are complex and diverse communities - reflecting a landscape rich with individual differences. Teachers in our program are prepared using a unique combination of theoretical and practical experiences. This approach ensures their ability to create and lead equitable spaces where difference is valued while at the same time preparing them for the realities and challenges of the classroom and the profession.
In this program, students will:
- Develop specific math and science pedagogical skills to teach adolescent learners
- Develop mathematical and scientific thinking to design curricula to reach all learners
- Explore universal design, intersectionality and inclusivity
- Learn to foster care, connection and community with colleagues and adolescent learners and their families
All students take five core inclusive education courses as well as the coursework for their licensure. For the Math/Science, 5-8 licensure, courses prepare educators to create and lead an inclusive math/science middle school classroom. This program includes a mix of in-person and online courses.
The Master of Education in Math/Science, 5-8 requires the completion of 10 courses and leads to Massachusetts initial licensure in math/science, 5-8.
