The Master of Education degree is a 30 semester-hour program designed to foster professional growth and renewal of practicing educators and licensed teachers. It is a cohort-based program that requires two years of part time coursework and research to complete. Courses are offered through a primarily distance-based learning format. While the teaching force on Hawai?i Island is a natural target population, the M.Ed. is designed for licensed teachers throughout the state and in select areas of the Pacific Rim. The program promotes teacher leaders who will engage in school renewal and reform through curriculum development, school decision-making, and community outreach. |
