Middle Level Education
Coordinator: Cheryl B. Baker, e-mail: medmidlevel@plymouth.edu
Students interested in middle level education select the Self Designed concentration and take courses offered through the New England League of Middle Schools (NELMS). Year-round academies, regional conferences, summer conferences in Sturbridge, Mass., and the annual conference in Providence, R.I., offer students an institute and distance-learning format to achieve their goals. Students combine independent study, attendance at NELMS sponsored conferences, previous education and a capstone project (ED 5580 Research Project or ED 5210 Graduate Practicum) to earn the Master of Education degree. Areas of specialization include curriculum, leadership and technology, as well as electives that support personal interests and goals. This program integrates distance learning and participation in the March and summer NELMS conferences.
