Teaching & Learning (MEd)

As both a graduate and current student at the University of Holy Cross, I have found this institution to be the cornerstone of my professional growth. I chose to pursue my Master's in Teaching and Learning with a concentration in Instructional Leadership at UHC because of the personalized support and deep commitment to nurturing educators. Having earned my bachelor's degree from UHC, I knew the faculty’s dedication and the strong sense of community would continue to empower me as both a teacher and leader.

Four years ago, seeking to expand my teaching career and add an ESL certification to my Special Education background, I embarked on my journey with UHC's Teaching and Learning MEd Program. The program's 50% tuition discount for teachers and online options made it affordable and realistic to complete despite my full-time commitments as a parent and teacher. UHC was a perfect fit for my busy schedule. The support I've received from UHC's professors and counselors has been invaluable. Their expertise and availability have been instrumental in my ongoing learning and professional growth. Each class has provided practical knowledge I've been able to apply directly to my classroom. I not only completed an add-on certification four years ago. But with their faculty's guidance and support, I hope to complete my MEd in Teaching and Learning by this summer.

My experience at the University of Holy Cross in the Teaching and Learning program with an ESL concentration has been genuinely transformative. Choosing the UHC for my graduate studies has been one of the best decisions of my life. The program deepened my understanding of effective educational practices and equipped me with specialized strategies to support English Learners. What made my experience truly exceptional was the faculty’s dedication to ensure my success. They created a collaborative environment and were always available for guidance and support. Their passion for empowering educators to continuously improve their profession was truly inspiring and helped me grow as both an educator and a leader.  I chose this program because of its strong emphasis on inclusivity and innovation, and it has exceeded my expectations in preparing me to make a meaningful impact in the field of education.

I chose the Teaching and Learning program at the University of Holy Cross because of the close support and guidance from the professors and staff. The program’s rigor helped refine my teaching skills and deepen my understanding of education and instructional strategies. The department’s support and flexibility, particularly during the challenges of the pandemic, ensured that I could complete my studies with confidence. I am a proud alumni of the University of Holy Cross’s Teaching and Learning Program.

I was so well prepared to become a leader on the School level after completing my masters at UHC. I chose this program because the school felt like a small family community. All of the professors and staff were inclusive and helpful throughout my entire journey from the Alternative Cert.  program to getting my Masters Degree.
