My name is Matthew Brady, and this is my professional portfolio. It brings together work both from my Michigan State University Master of Arts in Education (MAED), a degree I have earned in conjunction with a Graduate Certificate in Sports Coaching and Leadership, as well as professional qualifications and my work experience outside of teaching. In this MAED, my course concentration was P-12 School and Postsecondary Leadership (EAD), with Leadership and Decision making an area of particular interest.
Where I am... |
In working through the MAED curriculum, I was able to design and present courses that drew upon my study of history and experience in government and in which students play active roles as participants in historical decision making roles. I will highlight some of those ideas and projects in this portfolio. In other courses, I have drawn upon my volunteer work and experience in outreach to substance abuse communities to draw connections to educational ideas.

While I am still working toward my teaching certification, work that I am undertaking concurrently with my final semester of the MAED, in the future I see myself in the classroom at the secondary level, in a discipline that draws upon my background in history, foreign affairs, government/civics, and political science. And hopefully I will be able to put into practice some of the class and teaching ideas that the MAED has helped me to develop.
