Teacher Learning, Research & Practice

 

Teacher Learning, Research & Practice programs enrich understanding of the histories and foundations of knowledge, inquiry, learning, and pedagogy in teaching and research across multiple subject areas. This program emphasis is grounded in a commitment to the practice, study, and transformation of teacher education in ways that forward and honor humanizing thinking and action. 

The Master’s programs are designed to support teachers interested in developing greater understanding and expertise in teaching and learning in their subject areas. You will explore theories informing teaching and learning, the complexities of classroom contexts, and equitable, student-centered practices of teaching. The PhD emphasis is for those interested in becoming teacher educators who conduct research and support the practice of teaching and teacher education.
