Students in the Master of Arts in Teaching: Urban Education and Social Justice (MAT: UESJ) program explores critical, transformative pedagogies as a part of their preparation to teach in urban schools. The MAT: UESJ curriculum focuses on the complex learning strengths and needs of urban students from diverse cultural, educational, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Candidates will learn through a combination of coursework, fieldwork, action research, and professional development activities. Unlike other master’s in teaching programs, the Urban Education and Social Justice curriculum requires candidates to develop, research, implement, and write a research project related to justice-oriented urban education. In doing so, our candidates have the time and academic support to develop as teachers and scholars.
