| UH college of education offers new master's program |
The College of Education's Department of Educational Psychology is offering a 30-credit master's of education program in learning and assessment designed to meet the professional development needs of Hawai'i's educators.
The program emphasizes understanding student learning in terms of current theories and research, using classroom student assessment to improve curricula and instruction, integrating classroom instruction and the statewide student assessment system and examining issues of assessment relative to diverse student populations.
The program is designed to address Hawai'i's teacher performance and licensing standards, particularly those standards related to the design and implementation of meaningful learning experiences, the use of active learning strategies and the use of appropriate assessment strategies. Participants who hold a State of Hawai'i Department of Education basic teaching certificate are eligible for professional certification upon completion of the program.
Applications are available from the Department of Educational Psychology for Summer 2000 registration.
