The program aims toward two primary goals: (1) to develop the skills and knowledge needed to be an effective beginning teacher, and (2) to establish the professional understandings and attitudes for growth and development throughout a teaching career. The Master of Arts in Education degree program with a Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning (or CTL) Concentration offers courses of graduate study to prepare candidates for specialized teaching and for curriculum and instructional leadership responsibilities in schools, government agencies, or corporate settings. The program, a minimum of 30 units, provides for areas of concentration in curriculum, teaching, and learning. The Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning concentration provides flexibility in program development for a wide range of professional educators, government officials, and private sector employees. Candidates need not possess a teaching credential. Prospective applicants are encouraged to see the department’s Web page at: Single Subjects Credential Program: http://education.sonoma.edu/programs/single-subject-credential Master of Arts in Education degree program in Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning (CTL): http://education.sonoma.edu/programs/ma/curriculum-teaching-learning Duties of the Position We highly encourage candidates with specialization in any of the following areas including, but not limited to, the following to apply: teaching, leadership, and/or other aspects of the education of African American, Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and students from groups historically and currently marginalized in society and schooling systems; justice-centered approaches to teaching, leadership, and school reform; antiracist teaching / assessment / school discipline practices; critical race theory and anti-Black racism, culturally sustaining and revitalizing pedagogy; emancipatory education; or other related fields.

Since most elementary schools are not departmentalized, this credential, in general, is appropriate for the middle/junior high school and high school (art, music, and physical education candidates may teach K-12). The program aims toward two primary goals: (1) to develop the skills and knowledge needed to be an effective beginning teacher, and (2) to establish the professional understandings and attitudes for growth and development throughout a teaching career. The Master of Arts in Education degree program with a Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning (or CTL) Concentration offers courses of graduate study to prepare candidates for specialized teaching and for curriculum and instructional leadership responsibilities in schools, government agencies, or corporate settings. The program, a minimum of 30 units, provides for areas of concentration in curriculum, teaching, and learning. The Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning concentration provides flexibility in program development for a wide range of professional educators, government officials, and private sector employees.
