Introduction

The Department of Teacher Education, Educational Leadership and Policy supports educators at all stages of their careers to become qualified, competent, and caring professionals in the diverse educational settings of New Mexico.

Aspiring teachers may seek initial teacher licensure in the Elementary Education or Secondary Education programs offered by the department. In addition to baccalaureate degrees with standard licensure, the department offers licensure to graduate students.

Teaching practitioners who desire to refine or expand their practice in a structured academic program may enroll in the Master of Arts (M.A.) in Education program for licensed teachers. The department's graduate programs of studies help practicing teachers acquire or expand knowledge, skills and leadership capacities. A concentration in Mathematics, Science and Educational Technology (MSET) is available in the M.A. in Elementary Education and Secondary Education. We also offer an online pathway to the M.A. in Education.

Post-master’s degree candidates may pursue advanced studies in teaching, learning, and teacher development in the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) or Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education. An Education Specialist (Ed.Spc.) certificate in Curriculum and Instruction is also available.

The M.A., Ed.D., and Education Specialist in Educational Leadership are designed to prepare individuals to assume leadership positions in complex educational organizations. All programs rely heavily on concepts drawn from the social sciences for insight into leadership behavior and the advancement of leadership skills and capacities.
