UMass Boston
UMass Boston's Elementary Education MEd is designed for educators seeking elementary initial licensure (grades 1–6). All students take the 36-credit sequence of courses, which support their graduate-level learning process. Courses include an introduction to a developmental perspective on education, research and current understandings about the methods of teaching specific fields of knowledge, classroom management, inclusive practices for meeting the needs of students with disabilities, and instruction of content for English language learners. The capstone of the program for the Initial Licensure is the supervised practicum and accompanying portfolio. Candidates demonstrate readiness for the initial elementary licensure with a passing score on the MA CAP (Candidate Assessment of Performance).
