I. MASTER OF MUSIC EDUCATION

A. INTRODUCTION

This manual is intended to introduce graduate students and their classroom mentors to the policies and procedures of the Master of Music Education program at Gordon College. The material outlines requirements for admission as well as procedures for completing the paperwork for professional licensure. Extensive appendices present the competencies expected of all classroom teachers, as well as forms to be used during this fieldwork assignment. All policies and procedures are intended to ensure an excellent field-based experience in the classroom.

Gordon College prepares teachers to enter the teaching profession in both public and private schools. We encourage our students to develop a philosophy that includes both leadership and service roles. This philosophy emphasizes a respect for all learners and a love for truth. It is supported by methods and techniques that encourage effective, sensitive interaction, creative problem-solving and reflective critical thinking. A love for music is at the core of this philosophy.

B. MASTER OF MUSIC EDUCATION PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Master of Music Education program at Gordon College is a summers-only program (27 hours), and includes an on-site, field-based mentored experience as outlined in this manual (3 hours). The 30-hour degree is comprised of course work in the following:

Musicianship (11 credits) o Analytical Techniques (2) o Western Music (2) o Non-Western Music (2) o Techniques of Conducting (2) o Lab Ensemble (3)

Music Processing and Research (4 credits) o Learning Theory and Assessment in Music (2) o Introduction to Research in Music (2)

Music Electives (6 credits)

Music Education (9 credits) o Foundations of Music Education (2) o Curriculum Development in Music Education (2) o Supervision and Administration in Music Education (2) o Field-Based Experience (3)

The field-based teaching experience provides an opportunity for professional licensure applicants to integrate content area knowledge, pedagogical theory, and practical experience. The duration of the field experience will be at least 50 clock

1

hours during one full semester as defined by the field site. The teaching project may be completed while the candidate is under contract with a school system.

The candidate will be supervised by a Gordon College faculty member and an onsite mentor. This field-based experience constitutes the final requirement of

Gordon’s masters degree in music education.
