Culturally Responsive Teacher Leadership (M.Ed.)
Since our founding in 1865, Bowie State University has been at the forefront of teacher education in the region – preparing educators to be a beacon of light in the classroom. A growing body of research shows that culturally responsive practices greatly contribute to student success. In response, Bowie State has developed an innovative Master of Education in culturally responsive teacher leadership program.
As the first of its kind in the state of Maryland, the program promotes equity, access and inclusivity in teaching, while helping educators become effective leaders in diverse learning communities. Students can complete this accelerated program in 12 months, with eight-week courses that start each spring semester.
