This program is designed for full-time teachers of prekindergarten through eighth grade and is offered in hybrid format, combining online coursework and face-to-face meetings at the Griffin campus each semester. Students also have an option to earn the coaching endorsement and the K-5 mathematics endorsement. This program is focused on PreK-8 and is offered only on the UGA Griffin campus.
Courses are taught in a hybrid format that combines on-campus meetings and online instruction, and course scheduling typically fits the needs of working professionals. The MEd program uses a cohort model that helps you form important professional relationships to support your career. The program curriculum covers the major content areas of number and operations, geometry and measurement, algebra and statistics, and effective use of technology and manipulatives.
The program includes two fall, two spring, and two summer semesters. During the fall and spring, you will spend approximately eight Saturdays each semester on the Griffin campus. In the summer, the schedule varies depending on teacher workdays, but the session will end by July 4. Summer courses combine Saturday and weekday in-person meetings. Students also complete a course and an internship to prepare them to become a mathematics education leader.
