Teaching and learning

This individually-tailored program is designed to help students achieve their professional research-based career goals. A central component of the doctoral program in Teaching and Learning includes work on research projects that support collaboration with faculty and the application of course work as students develop their own research ideas. TAL's Ph.D. program emphasizes an understanding of theory in scholarly inquiry; the intellectual framing and conduct of empirical research; the placement of research within cultural contexts and policy settings; designing, implementing and testing of transformative learning-environments that promote deep learning; and critical analysis of policy, research and practice.
