Quality of Curriculum, Standards of Instruction
The foundation of school learning - and therefore school success - is the quality of the curriculum and standards of instruction. This is where school leaders make their mark, on both their schools and their students. Lesley offers a range of Curriculum and Instruction programs, on-campus and off-campus, both Master's degrees and certificates of advanced graduate study, that enable experienced educators to enhance and expand their knowledge and skills in a variety of challenging programs.
Teachers enrolled in Lesley's Curriculum and Instruction offerings can focus on topics such as out-of-school time, integrated teaching through the arts, literacy, special education, early childhood, and multidisciplinary studies. Core courses address current issues in educational practice and policy, curriculum theory and development, research, and equity in education.
Lesley offers Curriculum and Instruction programs that lead to initial licensure and professional licensure, as well as degree-only programs. Wherever you are in your career, and wherever you want to go, Lesley has a Curriculum and Instruction program that can help you fulfill your professional goals.
