Program Overview

The Master of Arts in Elementary Education program is a 36-credit K-8 program that offers a rich combination of online learning, classroom practice, learning community sharing, research and analysis, and assessment to produce teachers that are capable of making a difference in student learning and achievement. Online examples in each lesson are provided to help primary, intermediate and junior high school teachers in any subject or lesson. The program is entirely customised through the examples, strategies, and assignments for any elementary teacher to gain and sharpen instructional skills.

The courses that make up the program curriculum are designed to prepare and strengthen the classroom teacher by providing the most current research-based and proven educational strategies and knowledge. The curriculum encompasses learning theory, educational foundations, brain theory, best practises, curriculum development, standards, and assessment. The courses in child and adolescent development, special needs and classroom management provide a framework of how teachers can provide appropriate strategies and environments for all students. A mentored practicum and portfolio project are included to enable the student to synthesise the knowledge and skills of the program into his/her personal understanding of an effective classroom for elementary students.

The goal of the program is to develop scholar-practitioners who will learn and practice advanced skills in designing, implementing and analysing instruction using research based strategies so they can provide an active, positive and effective classroom environment for elementary students.
