The Master of Education program is designed to develop teacher leadership in such ways that will further learning, increase student success, and continuously improve schools. In keeping with the adopted NH State Standards for Professional Development, the Master of Education program at New England College is a rigorous, data‐driven, site‐based, classroom‐imbedded program, tightly linked to improvement in student achievement.

The program will be offered to teachers who have already achieved certification and individuals seeking additional certification. Classes will be on‐line, held in area schools or in the College’s Center for Educational Innovation, or be a combination of on‐line and face‐to‐face meetings. Students will also meet asynchronously with faculty through Blackboard or another course management system, and will maintain a professional portfolio utilizing the eFolio system. A range of electives will be offered during the year and in summer institutes. Graduate students and NEC faculty will work as a learning community to address real‐world issues of teachers and schools. The culminating activity for the program will be an Action Research Project with results shared at a public presentation. For those seeking principal or superintendent licensure the action research project must focus on a school or district-wide initiative. For those not seeking principal or superintendent licensure the action research project can focus on a classroom challenge/issue.
