Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction: Out-of-School Time--Education and Leadership for Adolescents and Youth
This unique program is a collaborative effort between Citizen Schools and Lesley University. Participants enter as Citizen Schools teaching fellows, and go through a two-year, 33-credit sequence of courses.
The program is designed for educators, youth workers, and others interested in taking professional leadership positions in out-of-school time. Graduates of this program will be policymakers, directors, and leaders in the field. This program approaches the out-of-school time field as a partner with the public and private school day, and focuses on program development, team building, and pedagogical practice.
