Curriculum and Instruction

The concentration in curriculum and instruction is a curriculum-based program designed to combine excellence in instructional methodologies used in education with foundation coursework that focuses on the at-risk student in the mainstream. An integration of personal and group motivational techniques and theories in organizational management, along with a summary of legal issues in education introduces the student to innovative, applied models of instruction.
