The EdM Program in Dance Education is a partnership between the Rutgers Graduate School of Education (GSE) and the Dance Department at Mason Gross School of the Arts. It is part of the GSE’s Urban Social Justice Teacher Preparation Program, which aims to develop a generation of teachers with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to teach and advocate for all students and learn from the communities they serve. It prepares teacher candidates to effectively teach diverse learners by fostering a deep understanding of students from historically marginalized linguistic, economic, and cultural backgrounds and communities.
