NOTE: Currently the Master Educator program is only available to EducateONE educators. We plan to open this up to the public in the future after achieving DEAC accreditation.
The Master Educator program is designed to have qualified educators learn at a postgraduate level an expertise in facilitating learning, as well as working towards earning a U.S. National Board Certification for teaching (NBPTS) and recognition as a Certified Higher Education Professional in Teaching or Online Teaching (CHEP).
Since at EducateONE, we do not only focus on direct instruction that is generally implied by the word "teaching" but how we ensure learning through the best modality for the context of the student. As such, we expand the National Board Core Propositions to encompass all of educating as follows:
- Educators are committed to students and their learning
- Educators know and know how to facilitate the learning of the competencies that they are supporting students to learn.
- Educators are responsible for managing and monitoring student learning
- Educators think systematically about their practice and learn from experience for continual improvement
- Educators are members of learning communities
Crosswalk between EducateONE and NBPTS
NBPTS uses an outdated paradigm of "subject areas" in which it does certification, as opposed to the holistic EducateONE model of Categories of Competencies and Circles of Context. Thus the following are cross-walks from NBPTS subject-area certifications to EducateONE's paradigm.
