The Curriculum and Instruction Specialization aims at expanding the candidate's instructional skills and knowledge of curriculum at the elementary and/or secondary level. Candidates may want to improve their skills as classroom teachers; they may choose to enter positions as curriculum specialists or instructional team leaders; or they may seek employment in the private sector in curriculum development and training related positions. Courses taken in this program may be applied toward a fifth year of study for a clear teaching credential. In addition to the general prerequisites, applicants must have successfully completed student teaching or the equivalent prior to entering the program.
EDUC 590 and a comprehensive written examination, or EDUC 599, are required for the completion of a master's degree with a specialization in curriculum and instruction.
