Goddard College
An Innovative Leader in Progressive Education

Partnership Education
Educating for Caring, Peace and Social Justice

The M.A. concentration in Partnership Education aims to help students develop a broad, critical understanding of the complex issues involved in educating for social justice and cultural transformation. Partnership Education is a deliberate, coherent approach to cultivating the values of a partnership society in educational practice. By extending your program for a semester, you can include teacher licensure.
 

HALLMARKS OF A GODDARD EDUCATION ARE:

  • Individualized Study Plans: At Goddard, students are regarded as unique individuals. Students define their topic of inquiry and then, in close collaboration with a faculty advisor, self-design their own course of study. This personalized approach assures that the focus of a student’s academic work is on something that is deeply engaging and meaningful to their lives.
  • Low Residency Format: Goddard originated the intensive residency format designed for working adults. At the beginning of each semester students attend an 8-day residency on the Goddard campus in Plainfield, Vermont during which they create that semester’s study plan. They then return home to work independently on their plans while participating in a close mentoring relationship with a faculty advisor.
  • The Goddard Experience: Goddard’s learning model is unique and challenging. It is best suited for serious students who are internally motivated. Goddard is an intentionally small, personal and diverse learning community. Our graduate experience is collaborative, energizing and empowering. It creates an enduring impact while expanding minds, enlarging skills, inspiring transformative action and enriching lives. Given its caliber, and when compared to other colleges and universities, Goddard is remarkably affordable.

“Once we understand the cultural, social and political configurations of the partnership and domination models, we can more effectively develop the educational methods, materials and institutions that foster a less violent, more equitable, democratic, and sustainable future.”
