Overview
About the program
For teachers, assistants and trainers who teach without a degree in education. You study learning, teaching methods and assessment.
The Education Studies program is designed for people who already work in the field. It covers foundations of education, educational psychology, teaching methods, assessment of learning, classroom management, and ends with educational technology.
Like every Madison program, it is built for working adults. Courses you already master through your work are tested and recorded with a grade; the rest you study online, at your own pace, with tasks carried out in your own workplace.
In preparation. This program is not open for enrollment yet. It opens when its curriculum and courses are in place on the learning platform.
