The graduate education programs at
Georgetown College, which are dedicated to the
mission of developing scholars who are competent,
caring and committed to a spirit of service and
learning, are intended for state certified and
generally in-service teachers who wish to improve
their abilities to enhance student learning through
every possible avenue.
The masters program with
Instructional Technology focus is designed to help
in-service teachers gain knowledge and skills needed
to use technology to enhance student learning, and
to provide leadership in schools and school systems
to nurture and expand these abilities in others. Our
students have held leadership positions at both the
district, school, and university levels.
The overall goal of the Georgetown
College Master of Arts with Instructional Technology
Focus is the better integration of technology into
the personal and professional lives of graduates,
leading to better integration of technology into the
curricula of their schools and districts. This will
be accomplished by meeting NCATE Standards (ISTE-TF)
and the KERA Initiatives through mastery of
Kentucky’s Experienced Teacher Standards and in
particular, Standard 10 for Implementation of
Technology:
The teacher uses technology to
support instruction; access and manipulate data;
enhance professional growth and productivity;
communicate and collaborate with colleagues,
parents, and the community; and conduct research. (KDE,
ETS revised May 1999)
Throughout Georgetown’s graduate
education programs, technology is viewed as an
enabling tool by which Kentucky’s core content can
be more efficiently and effectively mediated to
students. This particular program will take graduate
students well beyond the minimum guidelines for all
teachers, in order to help establish them as leaders
in the use and integration of technology to
accomplish the broader goals of Kentucky’s education
reform, and of the learned and professional
societies which advise and govern educational
programs.
