 PART-TIME M.ED. PROGRAMS

INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED FOR COHORTS FROM DISTINCT EDUCATOR COMMUNITIES

Thoughtfully designed cohorts that reflect the educators within them.

​

Rather than offering a

one-size-fits-all graduate

experience, our M.Ed.

Fellows Programs are

intentionally small, offered

in person, and are grounded

in the shared experiences

and contexts of those

within the cohort.

TESTIMONIALS

After 32 years in the classroom, I am still drawing on my experience from the Teacher Apprentice Program.

The program opened my eyes to the strategies and insights that have enhanced my teaching. 

Even today I continue to draw on my experience in the program to foster an inclusive, empowering environment for all my students.

After working in the insurance industry for over a decade, I was ready for a change.  I was accepted into the Teacher Apprentice Program.  This whirlwind experience jettisoned me into my new career.  In 12 months, my master's degree and student teaching were complete. I've been teaching ever since!

TINA S.

I am grateful for the preparation I received in the Teacher Apprentice Program.  The program provided me with the foundation of knowledge and experience to have success from my very first year of teaching. I have built on the foundations of the program and on my years of experience to be identified as a master teacher and mentor for colleagues in my school.
