Graduates of this program will be able to implement content-rich interdisciplinary learning experiences which address the learning needs of all students, utilizing a strengths-based perspective to differentiate and adapt instruction for individual learners. Graduates of this program will also be able to create communities of learning based on social justice and culturally relevant pedagogical practice.
