Master of Education in Transformational Curriculum and Instruction

The MEd centers on transformational teaching: building dynamic relationships between teachers, students, and a shared body of knowledge to maximize each student’s growth. Across eight courses you will move from theory and research into assessment, instructional leadership, and an applied action-research study grounded in your own classroom.

The two programs share the same eight transformational-teaching courses. The difference is who they are for. The MEd is for teachers who already hold a Florida Professional Teaching Certificate and does not include an internship. The MAT is for people without a teaching certificate and adds a classroom internship that leads to initial certification. If you are already certified, the MEd is your program.

Yes. The entire program is online.

A graduate student is considered full time at a minimum of 8 credit hours.
