Minnesota Masters in Education Programs

(found programs from 27 schools)

Teachers looking for stability and the opportunity to impact a large number of students may want to consider Minnesota, ranked second in the U.S. on Opportunity Nation's 2011 Opportunity Index. The index, which is partially based on the graduation rates and the number of teens in school, indicates which states offer the greatest opportunity for economic improvement. According to Minnesota news source TwinCities.Com, the state wasn't satisfied with No Child Left Behind, so they created their own school accountability system, which takes into account a number of factors in addition to tests scores when assessing schools. Teachers who complete Master of Education programs in Minnesota are able to show their commitment to the field.
