Digitally-Rich Teaching in K-12 Schools

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, schools around the world were starting to incorporate tablets and other devices into the classroom to transform teaching practices and deliver more engaging, interactive learning. With the pandemic, online learning has become a necessity in most K-12 schools—at least for some of the time. Learn how to leverage digital technologies both within a K-12 classroom and remotely by pursuing Warner’s Advanced Certificate in Digitally Rich Teaching in K-12 Schools, one of only a few programs of its kind in the country, as a stand-alone program or in conjunction with other Warner degree programs.

Information about faculty and research can be found on the Digitally-Rich Teaching in K-12 Schools website.

The Warner School uses an online self-managed application process. Applicants are required to complete all portions of the online application and submit the following documents through an upload:

  • Current resume or curriculum vitae (CV)
  • Transcripts of all prior college-level work. Unofficial transcripts are accepted for the admissions process; however, official transcripts of all previous post-secondary education are required if admitted to the program, within the first semester the student enrolls.
  • Letters of recommendation from members of the academic community and/or workplace professionals who know your qualifications for graduate study are required. Preferably, at least one recommendation should be from a former professor. At least two letters are required for master’s applicants and three for doctoral applicants. Letters of recommendation are managed on the online application.
  • A statement of purpose describing your academic or professional background and your interest in pursuing graduate study at Warner is required. The statement of purpose is generally between two and four pages, double-spaced. You can upload a file or cut and paste into the online application.
  • An academic writing sample written in English. This may be a term paper from your earlier academic work or a five- or six-page commentary on an issue in education that you have written for this purpose only. The paper should support an academic argument, reference citations, and use a research style sheet.

A $70 application fee is required when submitting the application.

After the application is initially reviewed, candidates may be contacted to schedule an interview with a Warner faculty member. A holistic review of each individual application takes place by the faculty in the program. Warner reviews applications on a rolling basis for MS, CAS, and EdD candidates; applicants typically receive a decision on their application within 4 to 6 weeks from the priority application deadline.

Advanced Certificates and RequirementsLink to section

Students who already hold a master’s degree but are seeking additional NYS certifications can also pursue their goals by enrolling in one of the Warner School’s non-degree programs leading to a specific certification (registered with the NYS Education Department). Some advanced certificates that do not lead to NYS certification only require a bachelor’s degree. The number of credit hours necessary to complete each of these certification programs depends on each student’s previous background.
