Degree Title:	Master of Education (M.Ed.) - Mathematics Education
College:	Lesley University
Description:	Lesley University’s 33-credit M.Ed. in Mathematics Education program for elementary and middle school teachers emphasizes deep mathematics content knowledge and helps teachers connect this knowledge to classroom practice and their own students’ understanding of mathematics. Students in the program learn mathematics by working with others rather than just reading and completing exercises. The program includes math content courses covering the five national content standards that support teachers in becoming highly qualified educators in mathematics. Courses include: Constructing Mathematical Understanding, Building Mathematical Understanding, Functions and Algebra, Geometry and Measurement, Meeting Diverse Needs in the Mathematics Classroom and more. Students can finish this degree in as little as 2 years. The mathematics education program is offered completely online; small classes, personal attention, and a great deal of interaction are an important part of our teaching philosophy. These highly interactive courses are primarily asynchronous, so time zones and personal schedules should not interfere with class participation.
