Program offered is a Master.

The Master of Arts in Teaching with an Emphasis in Professional Learning Communities (Not Eligible for Institutional Recommendation) program is designed for certified elementary and secondary teachers interested in advanced studies in education. Applicants to this program are required to submit a copy of a current teaching certificate or provide evidence of a minimum of one year of teaching experience. Coursework in this program may assist in a teacher's quest for National Board Certification, but does not guarantee that certification. The format and courses of this regionally accredited program are tailored to meet the needs of adult learners and to maximize strengths that students already possess. Opportunities are provided to apply concepts, theories, and research throughout the program. Assignments within each course guide students through observational and practice-based experiences. Students must have access to a K-12 classroom to complete the program assignments. Graduates of this program are prepared to become informed educators who meet the needs of schools and student populations.
