Curriculum, Assessment & Instruction (M.Ed.; Ed.S.)
Graduate programs for K-12 teachers, who want to assume more responsibility and larger leadership roles while continuing a career in the classroom.

Program overview
The graduate programs in Curriculum, Assessment and Instruction are designed for elementary, middle and high school teachers, who want to assume more responsibility and larger leadership roles while continuing a career in the classroom. These programs are designed to help teachers enhance learning and development of students, while addressing state and federal standards in the areas of curriculum, assessment and instruction. We offer a Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree, which can be completed entirely online or through a hybrid of online and on-campus courses. We also offer an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree, which provides a cohesive program of professional development beyond the master’s level.
NOTE: The CA&I programs are designed for practicing teachers and/or those with existing teaching licenses. For individuals with an undergraduate degree in a subject other than education or who do not have a teaching license, UMaine offers a Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program.
