Learning outcomes

At a time when the ability to make data-driven, research based decisions is increasingly becoming an expected skill for master teachers, we stress the development of this critical skill as an integral part of our core graduate program across both of our EDS graduate options. Of course, this is not the sole focus of our program. We offer a focus on language culture and education that pairs with the ESL endorsement sequence for licensed teachers, and the post-baccalaureate TESOL program. We also have a student designed professional education track with room for open electives. Our program is interdisciplinary in orientation, allowing the degree candidate to develop a rich grasp of central issues and problems in education from the perspective of several key disciplines including psychology, philosophy, anthropology, and sociology. Whichever option you pursue, we think you will find the experience exhilarating and inspiring. We welcome and look forward to your participation should you choose to join us.
