The national goal to “leave no child behind” in educational achievement requires a highly qualified teaching force, and a highly qualified teaching force requires a teacher education faculty that generates new knowledge, investigates new solutions to educational challenges, and supports the professional development of the next generation of teachers. Such a teaching force also needs education leaders within school systems who support and help retain both new and experienced teachers through professional development programs, curriculum design, policy development, and data-based decision-making. The Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction was designed to address these goals. The degree focuses on urban education, with particular emphasis on literacy and mathematics. The program consists of three specialty areas: literacy education, mathematics education, and urban education.
