It is intended for new or veteran teachers who desire to deepen their knowledge of student learning and improve student achievement.

Eligibility
The program is open to those who:
- Have a Baccalaureate Degree from an accredited college or university
- Are currently teaching in an urban classroom
Most of the Master's Degree candidates are practicing educators serving urban students. The program is open to teachers licensed in any subject, level or certification area.
In order to participate in the program teachers must be the teacher assigned to a specific classroom in an urban school. Teachers in substitute positions are not eligible since there is no guarantee that they will work with the same student group long enough to research the effect of their strategies.
