I've been accepted to HGSE's Teacher Education Program (TEP), which offers an English concentration and certification. Here are links to the program website (http://www.gse.harvard.edu/academics/masters/tep/description/index.html ) and the courses offered (http://www.gse.harvard.edu/academics/masters/tep/curriculum/courses.html ). The TEP is geared specifically toward preparing teachers for urban education, but if you read the descriptions of the classes, pretty much everything covered is transferable to teaching in any environment. In addition to general pedagogy courses, it offers a "Teaching English" class. Because it is a small program (about 15-20 in English education each year; around 40 in the entire TEP), HGSE can't offer all the subject-specific pedagogy classes that TC does ("Teaching Shakespeare," "Teaching Poetry," etc.), which sound great. However, the TEP does address all those topics within the "Teaching English" class, albeit not in such great depth. Then there are three electives: one within your content area, one TEP elective, and one completely free choice. I'd hopefully be taking two English classes at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and, for my TEP elective, a class on adolescent literature (with a supplementary course on adolescent literacy).
Both TC and HGSE seem to offer great programs with very different strengths. Now if only one of them would be as generous as BU...
