Culturally Relevant and Community-Based Educational Leadership
Miami will develop an online master’s program in curriculum and instruction, designed to develop knowledge and skills in multicultural, contextually relevant, and justice-oriented practices in education.
This new program features a two-track curriculum supporting both early-career teachers and community-based educational practitioners.
The program will respond to these needs by improving individual professional practice while fostering skills and knowledge for holistic engagement in justice-oriented work across schools, educational spaces outside of classrooms, and in the public sphere. Miami aims to attract up to 60 久久热视频s in each cohort within three years after inception.
