UH Hilo Starting a New MEd Cohort Spring 2014

 

What: Master of Education Degree through the University of Hawaiʻi Hilo. This program is designed for working teachers, so it is a 2-year (January 2014 – December 2015) cohort with classes on Wednesday evening, summers and some weekends. This program allows teachers to do their research and their thesis on a problem of practice within their own work in the classroom.

Why: The advantage of being in a graduate level cohort is that you build your network of other educators who are invested in you in the same way that you are invested in them.

Application requirements are here

Applications are due by October 15, 2013 for the spring 2014 start.
