Middle School EducationLesley University offers Middle School-level Master's Degree programs leading to Initial licensure in seven subject areas, as well as a joint English and Specialist Teacher in Reading program, Teacher of Visual Arts (Initial and Professional), and Science in Education Online (Professional). The programs are offered on and off campus (joint program and visual arts on campus only). Students may wish to investigate the Collaborative Internship program, a 14-month, field-based Master's program leading to initial licensure. Teaching middle school students requires deep pedagogical content knowledge, age-based skills, and a commitment to student achievement and their discipline. Also critical are heterogeneous grouping, integrated studies, good classroom management techniques that create a community of self-monitoring learners, interdisciplinary teacher-teams, community-based projects, small learning communities, fair assessment practices, and parental involvement. The preparation programs at Lesley are designed so that graduates leave being able to identify, plan, and facilitate the type of inquiry and joint problem-solving that is necessary for both social and cognitive tasks in their future classrooms and schools. Students with Master's degrees may also choose the 12-credit option for professional licensure. Master's Degrees leading to Initial Licensure
Master's Degrees leading to Professional Licensure12-Credit Option for Professional Licensure (Post-Master's)For those who already hold Master's degrees, 12 credits of graduate credit in the subject matter knowledge of the Initial license can be used to meet part of the requirements for the Professional license in that field. This is an individual option listed in the Massachusetts state regulations and not an approved program. Those interested in taking advantage of this option should consult with an Assistant Director of Academic Advising in the School of Education before enrolling in courses. updated 03/01/10 | 04:20 PM
