Curriculum and Instruction

Curriculum and Instruction

We are on the pulse of the issues and ideas that are shaping today’s learning environments, from the latest technologies to new methods for instruction. The depth of academic programs means you have variety of careers in education available. As future practitioners and researchers, our students have many opportunities within the school and in the community to develop their skills as educators.

Our graduates are working in private, public, and charter schools, as well as daycare centers, after-school programs, colleges and universities, online programs, museums, community recreation centers, and in professional settings.

You will work with faculty that has a deep interest and concern in education: they know what it means to teach. They work continuously to improve and refine their own teaching abilities as you start to develop your own teaching style.

Youth Art and Science

Children from nearby communities fill the halls of the school during our popular Saturday Art School and Saturday Science Quest programs. These programs provide both undergraduate and graduate students with some of their first teaching experiences under the guidance of our faculty.
