Master of Education for Science Teachers
(Online and Field Based/Springfield)
The School of Education Department of Teacher Education and Curriculum Studies,
in collaboration with the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and the
College of Natural Resources and the Environment, offers a field-based and
online graduate degree program in science education to teachers. Most courses
are offered onsite at Springfield High School of Science and Technology, while
others are offered online.
This program, for elementary and middle school teachers, enhances knowledge
of teaching science as well as basic science content knowledge. The program
provides a course of study that prepares teachers for licensure in General
Science grades 5 through 8. Both middle school and elementary school teachers
will be working toward a Master's degree. This program is based in National
Science Standards and State Science Frameworks. It takes a project-based, hands-on
approach, and is taught by experienced and motivated science educators.
Interdisciplinary courses, a blend of content and pedagogy, will be cross-listed
under both the School of Education and Science Departments.
- Astronomy (Astronomy Department)
- Chemistry (Chemistry Department)
- Geology (Geology Department)
- Electricity and Magnetism (Physics Department)
- Mechanics (Physics Department)
- Nutrition (Nutrition Department)
- Entomology (Entomology Department)
- Oceanography (Geology Department)
- Mathematics (Mathematics Department)
- Environmental Sciences (Department of Environmental Sciences)
