MASTER'S DEGREE IN
INOVATIVE LEARNING
FROM TOURO UNIVERSITY

Napa Valley Education Foundation is proud to provide 50% tuition support for Napa County teachers and administrators to earn their Master’s degree in Innovative Learning at Touro University of California. Participating educators learn about the latest tools and strategies that can be leveraged to boost engagement in the classroom and drive academic success for all students.

Creating
INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERS

All educators are provided the opportunity to investigate a problem of practice in their school or classroom and use action research to develop and test possible solutions. These capstone projects are then shared and can be leveraged across Napa County to provide innovative teaching and learning insights and best practices to all educators in the community.

Graduates leave the program as instructional leaders equipped with new skills and a new outlook on their ability to solve complex problems in their classrooms.

Participating educators agree to:
  • Share coursework and research projects with NVEF stakeholders and the wider Napa Valley education community
  • Provide program feedback on the quality of the coursework
