The Department The Curriculum Studies & Secondary Education (CSSE) Department houses the Single Subject Credential Program and the Master of Arts in Education degree program with a Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning (or CTL) Concentration. The Single Subject Credential Program authorizes the holder to teach a specific subject in a school organized by academic disciplines, kindergarten through grade 12. 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.
