Posted: Friday, February 14, 2020Master Educator Program: Seeking Participants for Next Cohort
Buffalo State College’s Master Educator Program (MEP) is now available to all faculty members. The MEP is designed for mid-career faculty members who are interested in reconnecting with their passion for teaching and who want to work with a small group of campus colleagues to continuously refine their effectiveness as educators.
Over the last two years, the School of the Professions pilot-tested the MEP with its first faculty cohort. Given the resounding success of this pilot program, the MEP is now sponsored by Academic Affairs; starting in September 2020, we plan to enroll a cohort of 10 faculty members from across schools and academic units.
The MEP is a two-year program that combines monthly half-day modules with one-on-one instructional coaching. The hands-on modules provide participants with teaching and classroom management strategies that aid faculty members in creating classroom environments that are engaging and interactive. The one-on-one instructional coaching allows cohort members to take part in continuous improvement under the expert guidance of a School of Education faculty member.
Letters of application will be accepted until Sunday, March 1. Please submit letters to Gerard Puccio, professor of creative studies and MEP administrator.
More information, including the nature of the program, program structure, selection process, mission, and vision, are available in the MEP brochure (PDF, 551 KB). Questions can be directed to Gerard Puccio, 878-6217.
