MSEd: The Art & Science of Teaching
How will my students and I benefit from this program?
The MSEd with a major in The Art & Science of Teaching is a program offered in partnership with Wilkes University, a Middle States accredited institution, and Marzano Research Laboratory. By completing this program you will become an Expert Teacher equipped with the knowledge and understanding of evidence-based practices that will translate into measurable changes in your classroom, and subsequently an increase in student achievement. Unlike traditional master's degrees, you will be able to apply the teaching strategies and techniques from this program directly into your classroom as you progress through each course.

This program will explore the answers to Dr. Marzano's 10 design questions for effective teaching.

  6. What will I do to establish or maintain classroom rules and procedures?
  7. What will I do to recognize and acknowledge adherence and lack of adherence to classroom rules and procedures?
