Description:
Goddard College's Education and Licensure Program, grounded in
student-centered learning and social responsibility, provides graduate
educational opportunities for both educators and others who are prepared to
make a difference in education. There is emphasis on individual needs and
interests rather than on a pre-determined curriculum. This commitment holds
for all students, although students working on the teaching license must
balance the personalized approach with the mandate to achieve a standard set
of competencies.The Program combines a limited residency at the college
(eight days per semester) with an academic study done through the semester
under the guidance of a faculty/advisor. Students attend fall and summer
residencies in order to write study plans for their semester, engage with
faculty and peers, and attend workshops.We offer four teacher education
venues at the graduate level: Individual Studies in Education (graduate
studies or MA), Teacher Licensure/Certification (graduate studies with
licensure only or MA), Partnership Education Concentration (MA only), and
School Guidance Concentration and Licensure (MA only). LICENSURE AREAS.
Public school licensure is available for: Art Education, Early Childhood
Education, Elementary Education, Middle School Education, Secondary English,
and Secondary Social Studies, Secondary Science, Secondary Math and School
Guidance. Faculty members from Goddard Education Program offer a depth of
knowledge and experiences in areas, including school reform, curriculum
development, critical pedagogy, multicultural education, holistic education,

Phone: 1-800-468-4888
Description:
The MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts Program is dedicated to the advancement of
the arts, as well as to the personal and professional development of the
individual artist. Students take charge of their learning by setting their
own goals and designing the course of studies by which to achieve them. The
learning takes place in one-on-one dialogue with a faculty advisor, and in
community experiences with peers and faculty. We encourage students to
become the kind of artist they want to be, without trying to socialize
anyone into a preconception of what an artist should be or should do. We
welcome all art practices, especially those that advance our collective
understanding of what art is and what art can be; as well as practices that
are not traditionally part of the Western art tradition.

Description:
We are a program devoted to progressive education. We embrace a wide range
of student interests and abilities. We use diverse ways of learning to help
our students reach professional levels of competency. Students develop
skills in practice, communication, personal development, professional
development, and research. Issues of social justice and an understanding of
social contexts are essential to our program. We prepare our students to
make a difference in the communities in which they live and work.
In addition to the individualized program in counseling and psychology, we
offer two concentrations: Sexual Orientation and Organizational Development.
From our 2005 External Program Review:“The program design, that is,
providing education through a combination of intensive campus residencies,
and directed, independent study off campus, provides flexibility for
students, allows for intensive tutorial style learning and intensive group
interaction. This design fosters collegiality, enhances students learning
experience and should be noted as a major strength. The information provided
in the Program Review (2005, Feb) highlight the recent history of program
changes. These changes show a clear commitment from the college, program
director and faculty to continually address the many challenges facing
education in the 21st century…Overall, the Psychology and Counseling program
is strong and well suited for the preparation of students seeking a master’s
level license and/or admission to doctoral programs.”
