In this unique program centered on equity and social justice, you&#8217;ll deepen your expertise in lesson design, critical literacy, instructional delivery, and more. You&#8217;ll also have the opportunity to take courses in English with a focus on diverse literature and pedagogy and explore culturally sustaining teaching practices for developing students&#8217; literacy and literary skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EdM in English &amp; Language Arts Education is for individuals who already have an initial teaching license or who are interested in teaching outside the public school system. While the EdM does not lead to preliminary or initial teaching licensure, you have the option to complete coursework and\/or do a field-based placement that would prepare you for teaching licensure. This flexible program can be completed full- or part-time and can be started in any semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"responsive-video responsive-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BU Wheelock&#039;s Graduate Programs in English Education\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v2TbJJD7Q0s?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h2 class=\"has-dark-color has-text-color\">Hear from EdM in English  &amp; Language Arts Education Faculty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The master&#8217;s program in English &amp; Language Arts Education allows you the opportunity to craft an individualized program of study that most meaningfully advances your teaching knowledge and practice. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-dark-color has-text-color has-text-align-center\">Dates &amp; Deadlines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Spring &amp; Fall 2024 <\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Aug 15, 2023<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Application Open<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Spring 2024 Semester<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Dec 15, 2023<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Application Deadline<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Fall 2024 Semester<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Jan 15, 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Deadline to Receive Priority Scholarship Consideration<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Fall 2024 Semester<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Aug 1, 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Application Closes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-primary-background-color has-background person-spotlight\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color has-text-align-center\">Featured Faculty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The EdM in English Education at BU Wheelock is led by faculty committed to equity and social justice in their research, teaching, and service.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<ul class=\"profile-listing profile-format-advanced\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<li class=\"profile-item profile-item-advanced has-title post-21967 profile type-profile status-publish hentry research-interest-english-language-arts research-interest-language-literacy-education sed-affiliation-faculty department-teaching-learning program-english-language-arts-education\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/id-kayla.cms-devl.bu.edu\/wheelock\/profile\/christina-l-dobbs\/\" class=\"profile-link profile-link-advanced\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"profile-photo profile-photo-advanced\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/wheelock\/files\/2018\/06\/Dobbs-Christina-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of Christina Dobbs\" \/><\/figure>\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"profile-name profile-name-advanced\">Christina L.
