Master of Education - Online Instruction

Messiah University’s online instruction track provides educators with the competencies needed to evaluate and design curriculum and deliver and assess effective instruction in the classroom and online.

Online Instruction overview

Graduate students in the online instruction track are prepared to be effective leaders, practitioners and collaborators. The majority of the candidates will be PK-12 credentialed teachers seeking preparation in delivering and assessing instruction online, although this track is also available to people who are not formally prepared as teachers. It is ideal for public, charter, cyber and private regular PK-12 classroom teachers and community college faculty using flipped, hybrid, online and blended programs.

The curriculum for the Master of Education in online instruction is designed for busy professionals and includes both theory and field experiences.
