Overview

The Curriculum and Instruction program of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte is designed for teachers who want the opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills through an accessible and flexible online education program.

Key facts

This 30-hour M.Ed. program is based on a candidate’s initial license in a core field. It is composed of four strands (middle grades, secondary education, teaching English as a second language (TESL), and curriculum leadership} that concentrate on developing knowledgeable, effective, reflective and responsive practitioners who will become leaders in the profession.

Areas of study include educational research methodology, curriculum theory, analysis of teaching, advanced methodology, and curriculum development, including the application of technology in teaching. In addition, the program includes advanced coursework in the candidate's initial-licensure area (i.e., English language arts, social studies or history, mathematics and sciences, or English as a Second Language). Courses are also appropriate for teacher licensure renewal or individual professional growth. Successful completion of this program leads to an advanced, M-level instructional license in the candidate's area of concentration.
