Curriculum and Instruction Option
The primary mission of the Department of Curriculum, Teaching, and Educational
Technology is the preparation and continuing education of K-12 educators,
particularly teachers. Coursework and field experiences are designed to
prepare teachers who are reflective thinkers, problem solvers, and decision
makers to meet the challenges of teaching in a rapidly changing world characterized
by social, economic, and cultural/linguistic diversity.
The coursework offers students opportunities to develop and refine their
understanding of the teaching/learning process while experiencing the best
of the world of practice. Additionally, educational technology coursework
enhances their instructional effectiveness. Supervised field experiences
along with instructional planning and evaluation techniques provide the
foundation for productive and responsive teaching. In this context, all
faculty promote teaching as a science and an art. Programs offered through
the Department of Curriculum, Teaching, and Educational Technology are identified
within two major categories: teaching credential programs and master's degree
programs.
Faculty
The faculty represents a wide range of experience and specializations. Students are encouraged to meet frequently with their professors and advisers to discuss their progress and concerns. Individual attention is the concern of the faculty and support staff of the department. Career Opportunities
California State University, Fresno is the focal point of the San Joaquin
Valley. The city of Fresno is a large and growing urban/industrial and agricultural
regional service area. This unique geographical position allows for ready
access to a variety of school systems large urban schools as well as many
less populated school districts in predominantly rural settings. Recent
statistical reports provide evidence that the area population is continuing
to increase along with the number of school-aged children. This pattern
of growth along with anticipated attrition from the teaching profession
provides considerable evidence of a growing demand for classroom teachers,
curriculum specialists, and other positions directly or indirectly related
to the field of education.
