There is also a Professional Development option that allows teachers flexibility in selecting or designing their own areas of focus. The candidate's school site serves as a practicum site for the program. Updating your teaching license or adding new areas Teachers who do not wish to complete the master's program may complete elective courses to update current licenses or extend qualifications to work in inclusion classrooms or in alternative schools. Teachers with a master's degree may complete the director of instruction and administrative leadership license. A practical instructional model for business professionals Practitioners in business, industry, government, and nonprofit organizations who enter the program develop their knowledge and abilities in the areas of instructional design, training, performance improvement, and evaluation.
Students apply their work in the program to real-life work sites.
Students may use their own work sites for this purpose. Alverno's Master's Degree program has given me the practical knowledge and skills that I can immediately apply to my job as an instructor, as well as the skills needed to fulfill my future, professional goals as an instructional designer. I value the supportive faculty, who have facilitated my development as a total person, and the collegial expertise that is shared among the students in the classrooms. My wish is that everyone could have the same opportunity to experience Alverno.
