The Curriculum and Instruction specialization within the Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership program aims to prepare students to become leaders in instruction who will strategically manage and lead process that are related to curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Graduates will be able to demonstrate both practical and scholarly knowledge through analytical, critical, and innovative thinking in order to improve the performance of a variety of educational institutions. Education theories, structures, and practices are constantly changing. Because of this, contemporary educators must be able to deal with new challenges that are vastly different from the challenges faced by educators before them. In order to meet these challenges, leaders must be able to design and facilitate learning in culturally diverse classrooms, manage the needs of many stakeholders, develop their classrooms, schools, and systems effectively and efficiently despite funding pressures, address the demands of regulatory bodies, as well as meet the outcomes which have been established by the greater educational community. This program aims to educate future leaders through applied scholarship, rigorous analysis, and comprehensive evaluation methodology. This degree and specialization is consistent with the University of Phoenix's dedication to educating working adults in order that they may develop the knowledge and skills that will enable them to attain their professional goals, make their organizations more successful, and offer leadership and service to their communities.
