Ready to earn your Master of Education Degree, but don't know where to start?
NYSUT's Education & Learning Trust, in partnership with SUNY Empire State College, offers members a path to earn up to nine Empire State College graduate credits toward Empire State College's thirty credit online Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction. Once you complete your nine credits, you can matriculate into Empire State College using our partnership benefit program.
To begin your degree, you can choose from 43 different ELT courses. Topics include curriculum design, instructional planning and differentiated teaching.
Equity in All Classrooms provides teachers with a framework for implementing more equitable instruction practices in their classrooms. This course makes the critical link between social justice and Universal Design for Learning. Students can’t meet expectations equally when teachers use a ‘one size fits all’ approach. To address this, consider adopting the NYSUT UDL framework in your lesson planning, said Franca Fiorentino, ELT instructor and member of the Bellmore Merrick United Secondary Teachers. UDL helps teachers identify multiple options for engagement, representation and expression, that will still meet all curriculum goals. “If kids can’t do it the way you want, maybe they can do it differently, and still end up at the same point,” explained Fiorentino.
