Our online Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Educational Practice program is designed to prepare K-12 schoolteachers to address the challenges of today’s classroom. You will learn practical approaches to situations that teachers face each day including activities, strategies and techniques you can implement immediately in your own classroom.

The program consists of ten courses, totaling 30 credits. These courses are offered entirely online. You will take four accelerated courses per year, each one lasting eight weeks. You also have the opportunity to earn your New Jersey Teacher Leader Endorsement within the program. And, there is a pathway to earn a Supervisor Certificate with only two additional courses beyond the 30 credits.

Making Connections

Although all classes are online, you will join in a cohort of students and progress through the program together. As a member of a cohort, you will:

• Work with other teachers and our highly-qualified faculty in a collaborative way.

• Participate in project-based activities, action research and reflective practices.

• Learn and share proven strategies that can help your students achieve success.

In short, you will be able to comfortably achieve your professional academic goals in a flexible, convenient and practical online environment.
