Academic Program
Middle Childhood Education
Master's Degree
The Middle Childhood Education in the Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction is designed to provide advanced preparation for professional educators, particularly those teaching in grades 4-9. Core courses focus on current scholarship in curriculum, learning and instruction, diversity, and the social context of schooling. Specialized courses address the needs of middle school learners, the use of technology in classrooms, and principles of teaching mathematics, science, social studies, and literacy. Program content is based on the standards of the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC). Note that this program does not lead to a teaching license or administrative credential, although it may be taken in conjunction with a licensure program for post-baccalaureate students who are seeking a teaching license.
