Faculty and Staff
Courses in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction are taught by full-time faculty, most of whom have doctorates or terminal degrees in their field. Our faculty have taught in a variety of public and private school settings and have been recognized for their teaching excellence and the use of technology in teaching. Faculty are actively involved in a variety of professional organization, provide continuing education workshops for teachers, and publish books and articles in state, national, and international journals.
The faculty and staff are committed to helping candidates develop into skilled, competent, and creative teachers. The individual assistance that professors provide ensures this goal is achieved. Candidates are encouraged to communicate frequently with their professors through office visits, email, and phone calls.
