The Master of Education degree program in Adolescent Education prepares secondary and middle grades teachers to be expert teacher-leaders. It is a standards based program which meets the Georgia Professional Standards Commission standards for the degree and is fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The program of study is also aligned with the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and meets the Board of Regents Principles which state that “graduate programs for teachers who are already certified will focus on both strengthening their content knowledge and … deepening their understanding of teaching and learning so as to be prepared to seek National Board Certification, should they choose to do so." (BOR Principle #4) Course work emphasizes scholarly rigor through research and engagement in a variety of field-based action research projects. Technology and multicultural considerations are infused throughout the program. This Masters program does not lead to Middle Grades or Secondary Education Certification. Persons interested in adding Middle Grades or Secondary certification areas should contact the Professional Standards Commission for guidance in meeting specific certification requirements.
