Introduction
Overview
The Master of Educational Innovation program aims to prepare teachers and leaders to be innovative in their teaching and school leadership practices. The program does not only focus on helping students acquire new knowledge in teaching and school leadership, but also on enhancing learners' skills through teamwork, collaborative learning, and linking theory to practice. In addition, the program provides learners with new frameworks and thinking patterns that cherish innovation and acceptance of the change to keep pace with developments in education. Finally, the program allows students to focus on scientific research skills and use them to solve issues and problems that they might face in their workplaces in new and innovative ways. Arabic is the main language of instruction in this program.
The Master of Educational Innovation Program comes as a result of a collaboration between the UAE University represented by the College of Education and the Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation for outstanding educational performance. The Foundation fully sponsors a minimum of 10 students annually to join this program. A noteworthy point is that this program is also open to applicants from outside the Foundation.
