According to “Master’s Degrees and Teacher Effectiveness: New Evidence From State Assessments,” by Arroyo Research Services, teachers who earn master’s degrees demonstrate greater teaching effectiveness than those who don’t.
The study found that students whose teachers held a master’s degree performed better in reading and writing tests. Researchers examined over 4,000 teachers and 205,000 students, discovering that knowledge gained in a master’s program does lead to improved student outcomes.
If you are interested in better outcomes for your students, keep reading.
The M.S. Ed. in English is for students seeking Teaching Certification along with a graduate degree. A member of the graduate faculty in Education will serve as the primary advisor for M.S. Ed. students, and the English graduate advisor will serve as the subject area advisor.
Students seeking the M.S. Ed. will complete the Department of Language, Literature, and Writing portfolio and oral defense as well as the required final assessment for the Department of Language, Literature, and Writing. These will be evaluated separately.
