The mission of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction is to prepare students in developing knowledge, skills, and professional attitudes appropriate for teaching prekinderkarten through grade twelve.
Emphasis is placed on sound decision making developed through a continuum of experiences.
Advanced students are expected to study the literature in their fields, engage in research, and participate in more sophisticated analysis relating to effective teaching and learning. Faculty members are enthusiastic teachers, noted researchers, and key leaders in education at the local, state, and national level. As academic advisors, faculty are assigned to personally work with each student from his or her freshman year through graduation. In addition to classroom instruction, our students have access to many other learning opportunities. The lab is equipped with Power Macintosh multimedia computers, each with direct access to the Internet and University servers.
