Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on Technology

The Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus on technology is designed to strengthen the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of candidates for the Master of Education program employed as teachers. Course syllabi, course descriptions and performance assessments clearly indicate and provide opportunities to gain knowledge and demonstrate the content, pedagogical, and professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to help all students learn. The focus is on what professionals should be able to do. The standards present the advanced professional as reflective, inquiry-oriented, cognizant of cultural diversity, and individual differences, able to communicate effectively, aware of research, and able to assume leadership responsibilities.

Our conceptual framework, NCATE standards, and Specialized Professional Associations guide the curriculum, instruction and assessment for our advanced professional education program. Our framework, Teachers as Reflective Educational Leaders, comprises a standards-driven, research-based, reflective leadership development approach through which teachers and other school personnel develop the knowledge, skills and dispositions deemed essential for the effective education professional. A hallmark of the program process is the integration of technology leadership across the curriculum and the development of an ongoing research agenda.
