Master of Education Curriculum and Instruction - Specialization In Literacy: LANGUAGE, READING, AND WRITING (33 credits)

The Curriculum and Instruction with a Specialization in Literacy: Language, Reading, and Writing program is designed to address the needs of experienced educators who wish to enhance and expand their current knowledge and skills. The program's core courses address: current issues in educational practice and policy; curriculum theory and development; practical and applied action research; the integration of technology into the curriculum; and the synthesis of coursework and research into an original collaborative project.

The Literacy specialization provides educators with a foundation in literacy learning and language and its application across different populations and content areas. The program reflects Lesley's strength in the integration of reading and writing in literacy courses, and enhances and expands understanding of curriculum planning and design, embedding literacy instruction and assessment strategies.

The program is offered off-campus in a number of states; please check the National Programs main page at http://web.lesley.edu/admissions/offcampus.asp.
