Specialization Overview
The M.Ed. with Secondary Licensure consists of a minimum of 64 credit hours (58 of which are UITE licensure credits) and is a joint program between ECS and the Urban Institute of Teacher Education, designed to prepare and work with teachers to be effective educators in classrooms across the Salt Lake region. The required coursework in the program focuses on family and community partnerships, the meaning and art of teaching and learning in urban contexts, and linguistically varied classrooms and communities. The goal of this joint program is to provide teachers with practical and conceptual frameworks to create equal opportunities and academically challenging learning spaces in the classroom.
