I had been teaching for 15 years and wanted to pursue an instructional coaching position
with my district. This degree helped me get the job I wanted and helped me learn how
best to help teachers.
The program was life changing for me. As a non-traditional student, I came to the
program after 27 years practicing in a different field (business and accounting).
This program gave me the educational and instructional foundation I needed to transfer
my business experience into the university classroom. I have already seen the real-world
application of the theory and strategies I learned in this program, including adult
learning principles, instructional strategies that increase student engagement and
success, educational research, and measuring results. And, if this were not enough,
this program has incredibly impressive faculty and cohort colleagues who taught and
listened to me and accepted me into their community. Wonderful program!"
I enjoyed the flexibility of the program and being able to pace myself. The professors
were very supportive, and helpful throughout the program."
I enjoyed the opportunity to explore and learn about topics and concepts I was interested
in. It given me the chance to use different methods in my classroom to make both teaching
and learning more enjoyable."To be considered for admission, individuals interested in earning their M.Ed. at UVU must successfully complete all admission criteria.
