THE ONLINE MASTER OF ARTS IN EDUCATION
Program Description:
The Extended University division of California State University, Bakersfield is proud to offer a new online degree program in EDUCATION. The MA in Education is accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC), the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
Curriculum and Instruction: Field Based (BTSA) Track:
Open to any California teacher who has a valid California teaching credential. Field-based teacher preparation involves immersing participants in various school settings as they plan, teach, reflect and apply. Field-based education is a proven-and-tested approach to prepare teachers for the challenges of the teaching profession by linking theory into practice, moving from reflection into action, and shifting from empowered to empowering. Involvement in BTSA is recommended.
Curriculum and Instruction: Educational Technology Track:
This track is available to those who wish to explore technology integration in the classroom. It is oriented towards K through 12 with applications that can be employed beyond the classroom. Educational Technology is an advisement option within Curriculum and Instruction for teachers and others interested in the application of technology to curriculum. The program begins with a strong background in curriculum and instructional models, both in traditional and technology supported modes. Students take the C & I core courses, many of which are online or face-to-face, and an online core of three courses dealing with standards, assessment, and legal aspects of school-based technology. They then have options depending on their specific professional interests. The program is designed for technology proficient professionals who wish to develop themselves further and move into curriculum and technology leadership roles.
