Secondary Education (M.Ed.)
In an effort to assist teachers and local school systems in the Northeastern area of Maryland, Towson University offers the M.Ed. in Secondary Education at the Higher Education and Conference Center (HECC) at HEAT in Aberdeen. This program provides an advanced program of study that provides opportunities for middle and high school teachers to deepen their understanding of research-based practices in teaching a subject matter to diverse learners. By focusing on developing advanced teaching competencies, understanding and using appropriate assessment and evaluation, and thinking and reflecting critically about the educational process and professional practice, the program is designed to provide opportunities for graduate students in education to meet the challenges of a dynamic profession while seeking advanced professional certification from the Maryland State Department of Education.
With the exception of the capstone course (SCED 781), students may complete the program at the HEAT Center by following a prescribed program that emphasizes instructional technology and advanced approaches to teaching. However, those students seeking a greater variety of elective courses are encouraged to consider completing portions of their program at the Towson University Campus which is less than 35 miles from the Center.
