Overview

This 32 point Curriculum and Teaching - Secondary Education program at Columbia University is designed for early career educators currently practicing in, or intending to practice in, New York State. A basic criterion for admission is possession of a valid initial license to teach in New York, or eligibility to acquire such a license (e.g., by virtue of holding a comparable license from another jurisdiction). Some prior experience (beyond student teaching or equivalent) is desirable, but not required. A commitment to public education is welcome (but not required).

The MA with Professional Certification, Secondary (MA-CUSD for short) helps educators who bring imagination, critical spirit, respect for the capacities of all children and young people, and love of teaching and learning to their work. We seek to prepare educators who will increasingly exert leadership (informally and/or formally) with their colleagues, in their school settings, and in the field more broadly. The program revolves round three core tenets:

teaching as inquiry,
teaching as curriculum making, and
teaching for social justice.
