Master of Education (Iowa)
The Kaplan University online Master of Education program is expected to start in 2005. The curriculum prepares degree candidates to become qualified teachers at the K-12 level.
The program is designed to help you become proficient in nine program competencies, which are based upon national and state professional standards for beginning teachers. Each course requires you to gain knowledge and experience in relation to one of more of the program competencies. Additionally, every course is built upon the Reflective Decision Maker Model to ensure that teachers develop the habit of thoughtful analysis of their own teaching practice for the purpose of promoting the learning and achievement of their K-12 students.
As a degree candidate you will choose a concentration in either elementary or secondary teaching. The elementary teaching concentration focuses on practical methods and materials utilized at the elementary school level to teach specialized curriculum. As a prospective teacher pursuing a secondary teaching concentration you will receive instruction in teaching methodologies for specific subject areas at the high school level. Both concentration areas offer coursework in reading, mathematics, science, language arts, and social studies, as well as required field work assignments and supervised student teaching experience. The elementary teaching concentration also offers courses in teaching health and physical education, music, and visual arts
