Overview

Why choose this course?

Curriculum and Instruction - Research from the University of Wisconsin Madison prepares students for advanced work in education. In some cases, work leading to the degree prepares students to enter a new position or career in education (e.g., curriculum developer, museum educator, content-area specialist, school department head, curriculum supervisor, early childhood specialist, bilingual teacher, or reading teacher). In other cases, it prepares students to perform at a higher level in their existing job. In yet other cases, it prepares students for PhD study.

Motivations for master's degree work include professional development, maintenance of accreditation, acquisition of new perspectives and skills, development of specialized knowledge, preparation to work with student teachers, preparation for leadership among teachers, and preparation for advanced graduate study. Whatever their personal reasons for pursuing the degree, master's degree students should expect both an atmosphere of intellectual inquiry and the serious academic standards befitting a graduate research program in curriculum and instruction.
