In
order to
assist
practicing
teachers
in
meeting the
challenges
and
opportunities
of the
rapidly
changing
world of
education,
the
Department
of
Curriculum
and
Instruction
is now
offering
a
totally
new and
innovative
master's
degree
program for the
21st-Century
teacher.
The
Edward
Houston
Wills
Master's
Degree
is
designed
to be
strongly
integrated
into the
real
world of
the
professional
teacher.
Many of
the
courses
are
offered
using a
blended
approach
that
allows
for some
face-to-face
class
meetings
but
emphasizes
a
significant
online
component
that
encourages
teachers
to
participate
in
assignments
from
their
schools.
To
further
integrate
with the
world of
practice,
the
program
culminates
in a
comprehensive
action-research
project
designed
and
ultimately
implemented
by the
teacher
within
his or
her own
classroom
or
school.
The
Edward
Houston Wills
Master's
Degree
also
offers
progressive
and
practical
core
courses
such as
Power,
Politics,
and
Change;
Reaching
Every
Learner;
and
Innovative
Instructional
Design
and
a choice
of four
areas of
emphasis:
(a)
Instructional
Technology,
(b)
ELL/Special
Education,
(c)
Leadership,
and (d)
Literacy.
