Master of Contemporary Education

Summary

Develop new understanding to enhance your contemporary education practice through this practice-based Master’s programme that will help you co-construct change in order to maximise the positive impact you can make in your school, organisation and education community.

Your learning is co-constructed with you to cater to your specific project and outcomes. It is a collaborative course supported by a community of educators.

The output of this work-based Master’s qualification is an in-depth project that is developed, presented and shared with your peers and advisors at the academyEX Education Symposium. This project is your focus for both Parts 2 and 3 of the Masters and gives you the chance to make real change where it matters most to you.

The Master of Contemporary Education is delivered through  scheduled facilitated sessions online, enabling teachers to complete this qualification from any location in New Zealand. It also includes full-day workshops which can be attended in person in Auckland if travel to Auckland isn’t possible. Attending in person has a range of benefits, but we know that isn’t always possible, so online delivery is also scheduled.

The MCE programme wakes you up to the fact you’re a professional leader of learning. It empowers you to take a lead in how you do things in your own practice. - Matthew Eagle, Rongotai College.
