M.Ed. in Secondary Education with an Emphasis in STEM (ITL)
Grand Canyon University’s Master of Education in Secondary Education with an emphasis in STEM ITL degree program prepares graduate students to become licensed junior high or high school teachers, proficient in STEM education. STEM education is an interdisciplinary and applied approach to learning that integrates STEM-related and rigorous academic concepts with real-world lessons. Middle and high school students learn to apply science, technology, engineering and mathematics, problem solve and think critically— while understanding how STEM impacts our everyday lives and our nation’s competitiveness in the global economy.
STEM Educators:
- Help meet the significant demand for STEM teachers and mentors
- Instill an appreciation for engineering, biochemistry, computer science, robotics, cybersecurity and other STEM fields
- Guide students toward STEM related professions – Help students become tomorrow’s leaders and innovators, skilled in medicine, technology and science.
- Develop engaging lessons and projects related to science, technology, engineering, and math.
- Cultivate an attitude of discovery, exploration and ingenuity
With emphases placed on technology and classroom diversity, graduate students learn to combine grades 6-12 subjects (STEM and educational psychology), including a variety of 21st century teaching methods and strategies to improve student outcomes. Master’s graduates will be equipped to expose their students to STEM, prepare them for post-secondary STEM education and encourage them to explore careers by developing a strong STEM foundation, hands-on curriculum and integrated instruction.
