Master of Arts in Education - Physical Education Master Teacher

The MAE in Physical Education Master Teacher is a 36 credit hour program designed for those teachers who prefer a broader understanding of pedagogical practices and a greater skillfulness in delivery of instruction including the ability to gather and use data to assess student learning and revise or design curriculum.
