Master of Science [M.S] [Elementary Education] From University of Nevada

The focus is on teacher leadership. Emphases for the MS include math education, science education to STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) education. Thesis and non-thesis options are available.

Considering the demands on today’s educators described above, the faculty members are committed to developing a community of scholars and practitioners who will investigate educational issues from a variety of perspectives, and whose work will substantively contribute to the field. We believe that issues of curriculum, teaching, and learning are at the very heart of the field of education, as well as at the center of maintaining a democratic society. We will encourage our graduate students to raise critical theoretical questions and engage in compelling conversation about the nature of knowledge and what is worth knowing, how that knowledge can best be taught and the opportunities that all students must have to learn. We believe that it is the understanding of theory, and its relationship to practice, that enables educators to more effectively engage with others to solve the persistent challenges of education.
