With a Master of Arts in Teaching (K To 8) Degree from Western Governors University current teachers working in classrooms in elementary and middle school schools can increase their degree to a Masters from a Bachelors while still working full or part time. The flexibility of the online format combined with the ability to sue real classroom teaching experience in assignments and projects makes this a very logical program of study for many teaching professionals.

Teachers completing the MA in Teaching (K to 8) degree will have a strong understanding of researched based teaching methods, best practices for the classroom as well as how to evaluate both student learning and the curriculum.
