Join a community of top talent<\/h2>\n

As a student in our on-campus TSS Ph.D. program, you will explore and rethink the intersections of curriculum, teaching, and teacher education with society and politics in an increasingly diverse world. You, along with your cohort, will be prepared to disrupt the status quo and challenge issues of equity in education through transformational learning. Learn more about what our current students are doing in the program below.<\/p>\n

Program Overview<\/h2>\n

Students in the Teachers, Schools, and Society program area begin with three foundational courses that encompass our collective identity as scholars and practitioners. These courses center on the history of education; critical pedagogy; and perspectives in curriculum, teaching, and teacher education. In addition, all students in the School of Teaching and Learning take a course focusing on introduction to research in curriculum and instruction, scholars in the field, and expectations of the professoriate.<\/p>\n

Building on these foundational courses, students choose one specialization area of focus: Social Foundations. Critical Studies in Race, Ethnicity, and Culture; or Teacher Education Scholarship and Practice.<\/p>\n
