A word from the Dean:
We have a history of developing educators and practitioners who have a positive impact in the educational community. Our goal in the School of Education is to continually improve our practices in alignment with Washington State and industry standards. We have knowledgeable professors and staff who want nothing more than to create a dynamic learning experience for our students, including those in our graduate programs.
The Master in Teaching (MIT) program prepares post-baccalaureate candidates with strong academic credentials who seek the first level of teacher certification and who demonstrate a high aptitude for scholarship and teaching at the elementary and secondary levels. The MIT is an intensive, eleven-month program focused on building professional experience in area public and private schools, developing best practices aimed at making a positive impact on K-12 students.
The Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Curriculum and Instruction is a 21-month, continuing education program for certificated teachers and other educators. Candidates focus on a selected area of interest, including concentrations in Teacher Leadership, Athletic Leadership, Special Education, and English Language Learning.
Teaching continues to be one of those vocations where professionals can make a significant impact on young lives and on society at large. As such, we are committed to fostering a learning environment that prepares learner-centered, adaptive, and holistic teachers who help their K-12 students excel academically and as people.
In our graduate programs, you will learn from faculty with strong academic knowledge and practical classroom experience. Drawing on full-time faculty, as well as adjunct practitioners, candidates are prepared to be educational leaders through rigorous, relevant, and hands-on training. As you navigate through your educational journey, know that we are wholly committed to your success as a graduate student and professional.
