Curriculum and Instruction
Being a teacher is one of the most rewarding careers available. Our program prepares you for a journey of lifelong learning that you can instill in those you'll be educating. We focus on content knowledge, content proficiency, pedagogical strategies, communication skills and analytical skills.
In the department of Curriculum and Instruction students have the opportunity to join student organizations tailored for future educators, participate in immersive residency experiences, and apply for scholarships, fellowships and internships.
The need for great teachers is as timeless as it is universal, and as a teacher, you can be confident you will always have a purpose. In Texas alone, there are more than 1,200 school districts and more than 9,200 campuses.
