An M.Ed. in curriculum and instruction, or C&I, builds your skills in the planning, implementation and evaluation of instructional methods and curriculum design. Research-based approaches are a key aspect of the degree, as are best practices in teaching and learning. An M.Ed. in C&I often offers several areas of specialization.
A master’s degree in elementary education, including the 100% online option at the University of Louisiana Monroe, is centered on instructional strategies and curriculum design for young learners. From classroom management to community outreach, a C&I degree in elementary education provides the tools you need to effect change in the classroom, organization and community.
After earning a C&I degree in elementary education, you might remain in a classroom setting, or you could work as a curriculum coordinator. Other options include administrator for daycare centers and after-school programs, adjunct faculty member in higher education or community college professor. No matter which path you choose, you’ll know how to help elementary-age children realize their potential. You’ll know how to get them excited about learning.
