Program Overview

The Johns Hopkins School of Education is pleased to announce the expansion of its online Master of Science in Education program for incoming and current Teach For America corps members, as well as alumni, beginning this fall. This exciting program addresses the need for highly effective master level teachers in low-income communities, while also recognizing the changing landscape of education.

The program is being made available in TFA regions across the country using an online delivery model that is both highly interactive and rigorous. The learning experience provides TFA corps members with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the classroom, and more importantly, to be transformational in their teaching. The personalized learning approach enables each student to take a customized path toward meeting high level standards, while flexible use of time and space allows differentiated approaches to content, assessment, pacing and learning style. The goal is to develop classroom skills as teacher leaders, in order to:

• make significant academic gains with their students
• meet the needs of the whole child
• have a long term impact in the communities they serve

The SOE’s Electronic Learning Community (ELC) platform and its associated Digital Portfolio will enable TFA corps members nationwide to be connected with their SOE faculty and fellow students who provide the resources, coaching and support needed to flourish in their teaching assignments, while earning a master’s degree from a world-renowned research university.
