Online Master of Education
Online M.Ed.
ODU designed the Online Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction to strengthen the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of candidates for the M.Ed. degree who are employed as licensed teachers. Course descriptions, syllabi and performance assessments clearly indicate the opportunities for candidates to gain pedagogical and professional knowledge, skills and dispositions necessary to help all students learn.
The M.Ed.’s focus is on what professional teachers should know and be able to do. We strive to develop advanced professionals who are highly effective teachers, and who are reflective, inquiry-oriented, cognizant of cultural diversity and individual differences, able to communicate effectively, aware of research, and able to assume leadership responsibilities as practicing teachers.
Our conceptual framework, NCATE (National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education) standards, and five core propositions of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) guide the curriculum, instruction and assessment for our advanced professional education program. Our framework, teachers as Reflective Educational Leaders, comprises a standards-driven, research-based, reflective leadership development approach through which teachers develop the knowledge, skills and dispositions deemed essential for effective teaching. Our conceptual framework reflects the following standards for advanced professional educators and provides the foundation for program performance competencies.
Professional Studies and Research
The advanced professional educator:
- Accesses, reads, and interprets the literature in his or her field and applies information from the research to professional practice.
- Understands the theoretical foundations for the profession and applies knowledge of theoretical foundations to professional practice.
- Recognizes and addresses current issues in the profession, solves problems encountered in professional practice, and reflects on his or her professional practice and its effects.
Leadership Skills and Technology Application
The advanced professional educator:
- Assumes leadership roles in the profession and shares knowledge and expertise with others in the profession and community.
- Fosters and maintains positive work relationships and models effective oral and written communication.
- Understands, appreciates and applies technology to enhance his or her professional practice.
Reflective Professional Practice
The advanced professional educator:
- Recognizes and addresses current issues in the profession, solves problems encountered in professional practice, and reflects on his or her professional practice and its effects.
- Uses a variety of formal and informal assessments to evaluate his or her performance and the performance of others.
- Displays the beliefs, values, and behaviors that guide the ethical dimensions of professional practice.

Perhaps no other career is as rewarding as that of teaching. Whether helping very young children take their first steps in learning to read or introducing the world of literature and the challenges
of math to older children, encouraging others to reach their potential is the hallmark of a good educator.
