Overview

The Middle Grades Education M.Ed. Program- Georgia College offers an advanced professional degree for those who already have their initial teacher certification, or have met the eligibility requirements for initial certification.

The Association for Middle Level Education standards form the program’s philosophical and structural foundation.

It is designed to support in-service teachers during their years of induction and to assist them in increasing their level of certification from a T-4 to T-5 while obtaining one of the optional credentials to move from the professional level certificate to the advanced professional. Courses are offered in a fully online format.

A cohort begins each May and provides the best of both worlds: the flexibility of online learning combined with in-person class meetings that allow for collaborative learning experiences and networking opportunities with colleagues from across the state.

Focus

The M.Ed. Program focuses on the study of the development of young adolescents at an advanced level as outlined in the conceptual framework.
Within the context of the master's degree program, candidates are exposed to a wide variety of information related to education and work with young adolescents with particular emphasis on deepening their content knowledge, serving as mentors for beginning teachers, advocating for middle grades students in the larger professional community, and conducting action research in classrooms.
