Division of Curriculum and Teaching

The programs within the Division of Curriculum and Teaching prepare and develop teachers, at the initial and advanced levels, who are committed to personal and school excellence. The programs are designed to develop teachers’ knowledge, understanding and skills to enable them to be successful reflective practitioners. All of our programs emphasize concern for students’ language and culture and for the respect of the multiple voices of the urban classroom. They encourage teachers to collaborate with fellow teachers, administrators, students, parents and community members in strengthening curriculum and learning environments.
