Master of Science in Education - Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment
The curriculum, instruction and assessment (grades K–12) specialization is based on standards set forth by the US Department of Education, the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), International Reading Association (IRA) and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The alignment of curriculum, assessment and instruction is a complex task but helps to meet this goal All children can learn. Instituting standards in grades K–12 inherently levels the playing field, suggesting the same achievement goals for all students, regardless of socioeconomic conditions, ethnicity or learning differences. Program content focuses on current thinking on how teachers can best align their curriculum with state and local content standards.
Master of Science in Education - Educational Leadership
The specialization of educational leadership is designed for classroom teachers who want to move into administration (as a department head, assistant principal or principal, for example) or who will remain in the classroom while playing a larger leadership role at the school and district level.
The curriculum reflects the standards for leadership education developed by the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium and the National Policy Board for Educational Administration. This program, grounded in research and evidence of best practice, defines what administrators need to know and be able to do, at the most practical level, to enhance learning opportunities and outcomes for all students.
