How You Will Learn:
Curriculum & Instruction is taught using both cohort model and traditional on-campus registration. In the cohort model, you go through the program with the same group of 12-20 students in a pre-determined set of courses. In traditional on-campus registration, you pace your own course of studies. In both instances, the careful sequence of courses provides support and friendships of fellow students throughout the program. Additionally, core courses are taken in a mini-cluster format, while your elective courses are not.
What You Will Learn:
- How to integrate theory and practice.
- How to make instructional decisions that support the learning process.
- How to understand and apply relevant academic content.
- How to accommodate diverse needs of learners.
- How to collaborate productively with team members.
