Mathematics Education
Prerequisite: Certification to teach mathematics at respective grade level. If not certified, ability to demonstrate subject preparation for highly qualified teachers outlined by the Texas Education Association under the No Child Left Behind Act as evidenced by:
- 24 hours or more of mathematics coursework at the undergraduate level (for middle/secondary candidates) or
- Undergraduate mathematics coursework, professional development in mathematics and/or teaching experience (for elementary candidates).
The MEd in Mathematics Education is a 36 credit-hour program that includes courses in mathematics education, general education and educational research. Students will conclude the program of study by conducting original research. By completing the program, students will enhance their mathematical knowledge for teaching and pedagogical content knowledge, understand the vertical alignment of the mathematics content areas in the Pre-K through 12 curriculum, and link research by practice by understanding how to use and conduct research to enhance teacher practice. With this knowledge, students will be able to establish themselves as teacher-leaders in their respective schools and districts.
Note: This program does not meet the requirements for mathematics teacher certification.
