We Touch the Future -- We Are Teacher Education

Welcome to the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Texas A & M University in Kingsville, Texas. 

The faculty in the Department of Curriculum & Instruction is united in our vision that by the year 2010 we will become the program of choice for individuals wishing to pursue a career in education in South Texas.  To this end, our mission is to serve the needs of South Texas, the state and nation by preparing qualified professionals to assume positions of responsibility and leadership in the classrooms and schools of the 21st century.  Through this mission, our goal is to establish and facilitate life-long professional development for both pre-service and professional educators through quality undergraduate and graduate programs.  The Department of Curriculum & Instruction prepares education professionals for classroom and leadership roles in schools with diverse populations in the changing cultural and educational environments of South Texas.  Our goal will be accomplished through a process of collaboration and commitment.  Our strategies will utilize technology, research based teaching methods, developmentally appropriate field-based experiences and outcome-based performance assessments.  This process is aimed at maximizing learning for children, pre-service teachers, professional educators, and university partners.
