NEWBERRY - Newberry College is pleased to announce its fourth graduate program, the Master of Education in teaching, learning & curriculum. Classes will begin in January 2025.

The program is designed for certified teachers and educational leaders who are interested in taking their careers to the next level. The base curriculum provides learning opportunities in innovation, critical thinking, leadership, problem-solving and meeting the needs of diverse populations of students.

“This innovative professional growth opportunity is uniquely tailored to meet graduate students’ needs and schedules. Teachers earning a Master of Education from Newberry College will enhance their teaching and leadership pedagogies through authentic learning experiences,” said Dr. Susan Fernandez, dean of education at Newberry College. “Elevate your career, increase your salary, and experience scaffolded successes by becoming a member of our inaugural graduate cohort of teacher-leaders.”

The program includes two relevant and popular concentrations from which students can choose: multilingual learner education and literacy leadership.

The concentration in multilingual learner education expands students' expertise in culturally and linguistically diverse education. Students can also add courses to obtain English for Speakers of Other Languages certification in South Carolina.

The literacy leadership concentration focuses on the teaching of literacy and literacy leadership skills, with add-on courses for literacy teacher, literacy coach, and literacy specialist endorsement in South Carolina.

Like Newberry’s other graduate degrees, the program will be offered online and asynchronously, meaning students can complete coursework anytime, anywhere. The program can also be completed in as few as 12 months.
