Marymount University\u2019s School of Education<\/a> and the Archdiocese of Washington (ADW)<\/a> have signed a memorandum of understanding that establishes a partnership between the two institutions, which will result in expanded access to Marymount graduate programs for ADW teachers through an innovative pathway to licensure.<\/p>\n

Seeking to provide access to high-quality and accredited academic courses to assist in career and skill development, ADW will provide funding for its teachers and school leaders to pursue their master\u2019s with licensure in Marymount\u2019s Elementary Education<\/a>, Secondary Education<\/a>, Special Education<\/a> or Administration & Supervision<\/a> programs. The partnership will continue through at least June 2028, with the initial cohort of students beginning their studies during Summer 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis collaboration will transform the educational landscape for aspiring educators in the region, and is a testament to our shared commitment to providing high-quality education and empowering educators with the skills and knowledge they need to make a lasting impact in their classrooms,\u201d said Dr. Louis Frisenda, Assistant Vice President of Enrollment Initiatives at Marymount University.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Archdiocese of Washington Catholic Schools Office is thrilled to announce our new partnership with Marymount University as we embark on a journey to enhance focus on and bolster our teacher retention and recruitment efforts,\u201d added Denise Ball, Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning with the Archdiocese of Washington. \u201cTogether, we are committed to nurturing a thriving educational community that empowers both our educators and students for a brighter future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The curriculum format for the pathway to licensure will span 14 weeks, with each course carrying three credit hours \u2013 ensuring educators can delve deeply into their chosen field while still maintaining a manageable workload. Cohorts will start with 10 students each who meet qualifying criteria.<\/p>\n

The program was designed to be fully online with asynchronous and synchronous classes in order to be compatible with teachers\u2019 busy schedules. They will also be able to fulfill the program\u2019s student teaching component at their current employment site.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe online classes offer flexibility, allowing students to create personalized schedules and access course materials from anywhere \u2013 making their education more accessible,\u201d said Marcia Baldanza<\/a>, Assistant Professor of Education at Marymount University. \u201cWe have created a five-semester model so that ADW teachers are licensed and qualified as soon as possible. Additionally, this online model often provides a broader range of students from across the ADW\u2019s schools, enabling teachers to explore topics more deeply with others in different settings and expand their knowledge base and perspectives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diverse offerings available within Marymount\u2019s Education programs cater to educators across various grade levels and specializations. For instance, in the University\u2019s Secondary Education master\u2019s program, content areas include biology, chemistry, earth science, English, history and social sciences, mathematics and physics.<\/p>\n

Marymount\u2019s M.Ed. in Administration & Supervision, in particular, prepares students for advanced careers as public, private and Catholic school leaders. Coursework covers impactful leadership practices, continuous improvement, community building and the Catholic and public schools\u2019 history, teachings and moral perspectives \u2013 all while encouraging every student\u2019s beliefs and viewpoints within a supportive academic community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Archdiocese of Washington shares a mission that aligns with Marymount\u2019s values,\u201d explained Nicci Dowd<\/a>, Assistant Professor of Education at Marymount University. \u201cBoth institutions are dedicated to educational equity and excellence for all students as well as the teaching mission of the Catholic Church. Therefore, this alignment just made sense.\u201d<\/p>\n
