Course Descriptions
The Curriculum and Instruction program offers experienced teachers the opportunity to learn new ways to become more effective in the classroom through the use of new teaching techniques and a varied approach to curriculum development.
The program requires the completion of 15 graduate credits. Courses include student learning styles, school and family, program evaluation, global perspectives on education and current issues and problems in schools. Courses taken in the program may be applied to the Master of Arts in Leadership in Teaching program.
All requirements for the certificate must be completed within four years from the date of admission. Most students, however, will need considerably less time to complete the program. Courses are scheduled on Saturdays and in late afternoon and evening in the fall and spring terms, and in intensive sessions during the summer. All 15 credits must be completed at Notre Dame.
Applicants must have a baccalaureate degree and at least one year of teaching.
