A significant challenge facing today’s P-12 schools is how to educate children, regardless of their learning disability, a lack of familiarity with the English language, or the ability to read.
If you are a general classroom teacher, a teacher’s aide, or a person who works to support the learning of students and want to build upon your knowledge and expertise in these areas, Argosy University’s Curriculum and Instruction programs are for you.
This 30-credit program is designed to prepare educators who work in the P-12 setting as change agents who engage actively in their communities, using appropriate pedagogy and technology to foster the development of global citizens. Students enrolled in this program will complete a four-course sequence in reading designed to strengthen educators’ knowledge and skills in this specific area of focus.
Throughout each of the Curriculum and Instruction programs, students complete field experiences in their schools. These field experiences are designed to weave together what they learn in their coursework with what they do in their classrooms to support and improve student learning. This program does not lead to certification or credential endorsement.
