Each program requires students to complete a range of courses in their chosen concentration. Some concentrations require field work. Completion of the Teaching of Reading or the TESOL concentrations allows students to qualify for an additional teaching credential in the District of Columbia and other jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<span id=\"Concentration_Descriptions_and_Requirements\"><h2>Concentration Descriptions and Requirements<\/h2><\/span>\n<span id=\"Educating_for_Change\"><h3>Educating for Change<\/h3><\/span>\n<p>This concentration provides an opportunity for practitioners in education and those who will serve as advocates for students in K-12 education, particularly in urban environments, to better understand the dynamics of working for change to improve the quality of education for all students. Taught in a multidisciplinary context, this advanced degree program draws from the insights provided by a range of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, history, political science, economics, and education. This interdisciplinary perspective equips students to engage both intellectually and through practice, while addressing social inequalities within educational systems, associated with gender, ethnicity, social class, and disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Students in the program work together to understand the political, social, and economic factors and processes that impact learning opportunities and educational processes; students learn to become leaders and educational change agents. The uses of instructional technology are integrated into all classes; therefore, students matriculating into this program are expected to demonstrate functional computer skills.<\/p>\n<p>Within this 36-credit program, students learn about models for curriculum change and implementation, current research and best practices in teaching and learning, and equitable methods of assessment. Experiential learning and field experiences are central components of the learning process and foster student interaction with the community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Required Courses (36 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ALL of the following courses:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >EDCC 601<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >EDCI 505<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >EDCC 600<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >EDCI 607<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >EDCI 611<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >EDCI 612<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >EDCI 650<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >EDCI 655<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >EDCI 652<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >EDCI 653<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >EDCI 654<\/span><\/p>\n<p>ONE Capstone Project:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >EDCI 699<\/span><\/p>\n<span id=\"The_Teaching_of_Reading\"><h3>The Teaching of Reading<\/h3><\/span>\n<p><script>\nfunction toggleCourse(control) {\n\tif ($(control).hasClass('dyn_course_off')) {\n    \t$(control).removeClass('dyn_course_off').addClass('dyn_course_on');\n\t\tif ($(control).next().is('span')) {\n\t\t\t$(control).next().slideDown('slow');\n\t\t} else {\n\t\t\t$(control).parent().next().slideDown('slow');\n\t\t}\n    } else {\n\t\t$(control).removeClass('dyn_course_on').addClass('dyn_course_off');\n\t\tif ($(control).next().is('span')) {\n\t\t\t$(control).next().slideUp();\n\t\t} else {\n\t\t\t$(control).parent().next().slideUp();\n\t\t}\n\t}\n}\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The concentration in the Teaching of Reading is designed to prepare experienced classroom teachers for new roles such as specialized reading teachers, reading specialists, or\u00a0literacy coaches.
