UMass Amherst
The UMass Amherst secondary education program views teaching as an act of caring, with complex intellectual, moral, theoretical, and political implications that reach beyond testing and benchmarks. Our students become critically reflective educators committed to a life-long process of learning, embedded in the core values of social justice, evidence-based practice, and community engagement. Further, in keeping with the land-grant university mission, we work directly with public schools throughout the Connecticut River Valley region of western Massachusetts with an emphasis on serving under-resourced urban and rural schools.
