Conduct a Research Project

Unlike other master’s in teaching programs, the Urban Education and Social Justice curriculum requires you to develop, research, implement, and write a research project related to justice-oriented urban education. Present your work at the annual research symposium, where teacher-scholars share action research grounded in equity, justice, and transformative education.
