Faculty
Information about faculty is available online at http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/SchoolOfEducation/FacultyandResearch/Pages/Our-Faculty.aspx.
The MSEd in mathematics education program comprises courses that integrate learning of mathematical content, pedagogy and research. This approach fosters the teachers’ ability to teach effectively at the K-12 level. The program arises from collaboration between the School of Education and Human Development (SEHD) and the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS). It interweaves both mathematical and educational understandings that lead to a truly interdisciplinary program, including a possibility to conduct one’s own research project.
The MSEd core courses provide a sound basis in mathematics education, including learning theories and progressions, teaching approaches, and deep appreciation for diversity and philosophical foundations.
