1 Masters Degree (MEd) Individualized Plan of Study, Concentration in Early Childhood Studies Overview of Plan of Study: MCLA is currently conducting a needs assessment to determine the level of interest in a cohort-based Masters of Education (MEd) program. This sequence of courses and program format is designed to support teachers in early childhood settings who currently hold a bachelor s degree or will have earned one by September 1, The mission of the MCLA graduate program is to: promote and foster educational excellence and equity for all learners, both within and beyond the classroom; to bridge the gap between theory and practice within the larger social, cultural and political contexts that affect teaching and learning; and to prepare teachers to take active roles as participants in a democratic society: to know, to care and to act in ways that promote social justice and the equitable reform of schooling. This MEd plan of study will concentrate these ideals within the context of early childhood education. This sequence consists of a Masters of Education (MEd) Individualized (non-licensure) program of study, totaling 33 credits. For those seeking to also earn a PK-2 DESE license, additional field courses are outlined below. This MEd provides a concentration of courses that relate to theories of childhood development. The program uses a cohort model designed for the adult learner who is managing work and family demands. Courses will be offered in a central Berkshire County location weekends, evenings, and online. 1.

5 Course Descriptions: EDUC 702 Ethics and the Foundations of Schooling 3 credits Examines how teaching is shaped by social and cultural forces that extend well beyond the walls of the classroom; how teaching is influenced by the decisions of political authorities and shapes the quality of political life in society; and ultimately how teaching has moral dimensions that involve the responsible treatment of students, colleagues, parents, and other community members.
