Use Technology-Enhanced Teaching And Learning To Create Meaningful Connections
Learning is powerful when teachers connect the personal interests of their students to real world opportunities.
The Master of Arts in Teacher Leadership: Digital Technologies and Connected Learning enables teachers to deepen their understanding of new digital and networked technologies in order to have a greater influence within their school and to expand opportunities for young people.
This program is designed for use by educators in a variety of formal and informal educational contexts. It differs from traditional approaches to technology integration in which technology is viewed as a means toward more efficient and automated forms of education. Instead, Connected Learning puts learner-centered and experiential methods at the center of technology-enhanced learning. More importantly, teachers learn essential Connected Learning design principles in order to create meaningful learning opportunities and connections with their students, colleagues, and communities.
The M.A. in Teacher Leadership: Digital Technologies and Connected Learning is offered fully online and is a part-time program for teachers seeking professional development and career advancement. Courses are offered online both in the summer and during the school year. Courses during the school year are scheduled in the evenings to accommodate the work schedules of professionals.
Completing this master’s degree will support you in:
- Creating a network of colleagues who will support your development as a teacher;
- Developing your knowledge and skills as a teacher leader; and
- Deepening your understanding of teaching and learning, using the most up-to-date delivery methods.
The Master of Arts in Teacher Leadership: Digital Technologies and Connected Learning can be completed in five semesters. Courses will be conducted during summer, fall, and spring sessions, both synchronously and asynchronously. The online courses are taught by faculty who are nationally and internationally recognized leaders in their fields. This teacher leadership program will enable you to not only to become a more effective teacher in your classroom, but also to have influence within your school and beyond. As a teacher leader, you will develop collaborative relationships with colleagues and encourage them to join you on a journey to improve teaching and learning, both locally and further afield.
