The idea of an M.Ed. in IT with a non P‐12 (corporate) focus has been floated within CLT for more than a year.  This white paper examines environmental, systemic, and pedagogical factors affecting a possible shift in the M.Ed. in IT’s target audience.  This paper is not meant to be the end of a conversation but the beginning of one.  For success in the proposed transition to occur, buy‐in and participation must occur at several levels.  As such, the content, scope, and viability of the ideas put forth in this document may change in the coming months.  Should the ideas in this document be accepted, it is proposed that the rollout of a refocused M.Ed. program would occur by Fall 2016.
