easiest online masters in education

Need to get a masters and I am wondering what would be the quickest pain free program.

 

Every state university system in the country has an online MEd program (that's a guess but I'd be willing to put a dollar bet on it). When you say "quickest" you might mean that you're looking for a self-paced program? 1) You want to buzz through a course in three weeks? 2) Take 4-5 courses at a time? It makes a difference because some schools allow #1, some #2.
When you say "easiest" things get more sticky. You want all multiple choice unproctored exams? You want no essay exams? You want all essay exams? You need to tighten up your definitions a teensy bit. Then you need to plow through this thread:

It's the most comprehensive thread at degreeinfo on MEd degree programs.

 

Is it just me or are some of these questions almost humorous? Based on your question it seems that it's just check box time.

 

C'mon steve, be kind to the newbie, even if he's a bit smarmy.

 

as a former student of 3 different Masters education program, and only being able to go through one, on-site and gruelling adventure, i can safely say an 'easy MEd' program is an idiosyncracy.

You need to get priorities straight first. Do you see the enriching learning experience, that is oftentimes connotated with hardwork and pain, more important? Or is having a masters associated to one's cv a bigger priority?

having said that, if i were in your shoes, i would look at MA edu in open.ac.uk or MA edu in USQ. Quality education deserved for the pain it causes

 

Part of the problem I think is that teachers get a pay raise for having a masters degree. In those situations, I think you tend to find some people that simply want the box checked for the larger paychecks and don't really care about the learning part.

I'm not saying this is the case with the OP but it tends to be the case in general when people want a masters degree as easy as possible with little work.

 

Which explains why, as Kizment alluded to, every school out there has a Master's in Ed program. It is a checkbox, so what? Also, I doubt the rigor of education programs. Please. It's not like a science or math program or even a computer science masters. Most Ed programs are set up to entice people like the OP to enroll. Do your time, get the paper. Education schmeducation, who cares if I learn some effective teaching strategies? When graudation rates fall....blame the parents.

 

Well, there used to be an MEd Sticky, but it got de-sticky-ed.

 

I'm pretty sure that the link I posted above is to our former MEd sticky thread.

 

Thanks....
