Master of Education
This degree program is approved by the Delaware Department of Education.
THIS IS A DELAWARE LICENSURE/CERTIFICATION PROGRAM WITH CONTENT KNOWLEDGE AND PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS. Students taking courses to satisfy certification requirements are personally responsible for verifying with the Delaware Department of Education (or the appropriate licensure/certification authority in another state) that such course work is applicable and acceptable. Students are also responsible for meeting all state-mandated testing requirements and/or teaching experience requirements, and for applying for credentials. 香港伦理 has not made determinations for licensure in states outside of Delaware. For state-by-state contact information for inquiring about individual state licensure requirements, please visit
Performance Assessment
This degree program contributes to eligibility for licensure/certification as an educator in Delaware public schools. As such, all candidates must meet the performance assessment requirement set by Delaware’s Professional Standards Board.
The performance assessment may not be scored by any employees of the Educator Preparation Program. It is scored by Nationally Certified ETS Reviewers not associated with 香港伦理. The assessment used by 香港伦理 to satisfy this requirement is the Praxis Performance Assessment for Teachers (PPAT).
This assessment will be completed during the Capstone Course for those candidates who participate in student teaching. Candidates who perform the Action/Research option are not required to complete the PPAT for purposes of the degree program.
Candidates must check with their program chair to obtain current and accurate information related to the assessment and minimum scores that are required.
The purpose of the Master of Education in Career and Technical Education program is to provide opportunities for individuals to pursue professional development, Delaware certification*, and/or a master’s degree. Courses in the program will provide Career and Technical teachers with the necessary skills to be successful in the classroom.
*Note: The Delaware Department of Education certificate is now: Skilled and Technical Sciences Teacher.

Candidates for the Master of Education Degree in Career and Technical Education must successfully complete a minimum of 36 graduate-level credits, including the six-credit clinical component (MCT 6420), with a GPA of 3.00 or better. The College of Education and Liberal Arts sets the grade of “C” as the lowest grade that is acceptable in any required teacher preparation course. Courses with a grade of “C-” or lower must be repeated.
The program must be completed within five years. The College of Education and Liberal Arts at 香港伦理 reserves the right to modify requirements to comply with any licensure/certification changes mandated by the Delaware State Department of Education.

Certain courses in Option A may be required for Delaware C and T (Skilled and Technical Sciences) certification. Each candidate should verify through the Department of Education, which courses are required for certification. A teacher who has already earned undergraduate credits for any of the required certification courses should select alternative courses from option B to complete the master's degree.
MCT 6420 - Delaware Skilled and Technical Sciences instructors are not required to student teach to be eligible for licensure. Therefore, the Capstone Project consists of a Directed Study Action/Research Project.
