Creating Teacher Leaders

The degree in curriculum and instruction is designed to meet the needs of individuals who work (or plan to work) in some kind of an instructional capacity. The degree does not lead to a South Dakota teaching certificate nor does it lead to an endorsement on the South Dakota teaching certificate.

The curriculum and instruction degree is structured to allow a great deal of flexibility. It is expected that students will take a mixture of required courses and elective credits, depending on their areas of interest. These courses may be completed with no intention of seeking a degree, or may be used as part of the basis for completing a curriculum and instruction degree.

Is it for you?

This program will be a good fit if you:

  • Have at least three years of professional teaching experience.
  • Want to improve your effectiveness in the classroom.
  • Are interested in education-related research.
  • Want to be at the forefront of instruction techniques.
