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.
