A Message from the Program Director

“Our Initial Certification Master's Program in Mathematics Education builds upon the success of our established graduate offerings by providing a pathway for candidates without an initial teaching certificate. This program focuses on three key areas: deepening mathematical content knowledge, developing effective pedagogical skills in both general education and mathematics, and engaging with current research in mathematics education. Together, these elements offer a comprehensive foundation to prepare future educators for success in the classroom.” — Elana Reiser, Ed.D., Director of Master’s in Mathematics Education
