The mission of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction is the preparation and continuing education of K-12 educators,
particularly teachers. Coursework and field experiences are designed to prepare teachers who are reflective thinkers, problem
solvers, and decision makers to meet the challenges of teaching in a rapidly changing world characterized by social, economic,
and cultural/linguistic diversity.
Supervised field experiences along with instructional planning and evaluation techniques provide the foundation for productive
and responsive teaching.

Program Description. The online Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) integrates three themes - multicultural, social justice
education, action research, and Web-based teaching/learning - to improve school curriculum and instruction, help close the
achievement gap in our nation's public schools, and extend the academic and technological foundation provided in teacher
credentialing programs. The online MAT focuses explicitly on applied advanced study in K-12 classrooms, incorporating
a mixture of more critically oriented theoretical and research skills, as well as more emphasis on practitioner-oriented
knowledge, skills and dispositions, to increase learning for all students. Program applicants must have a teaching credential to
be admissible to the online MAT.
