Graduate ProgramThe Master of Education degree program at Wilmington College is intended to facilitate the professional growth of practicing teachers. A common core of six courses stresses the themes in learning theory, historical and cultural trends in education, conflict resolution and peace education, and educational research. Concentrations of five courses each are offered in reading and special education. Initial licensure as an intervention specialist is available through the special education concentration. The licensure program adds three additional courses in special education and 12 semester hours in reading (if needed) as well as a 12-week student teaching assignment. Students who have completed the reading program are eligible for endorsement as reading specialists. The program highlights insights into cultural diversity, learning differences, reflective teaching, student-centered instructional methods, and democratic classroom management.
