Required Courses and Plan of Study
Upon admission to the program, each MEd Curriculum & Instruction: Gifted Education student is assigned a sequence of courses. It is important to follow the assigned course sequence and discuss any variation from the sequence with an academic advisor. The complete list of required coursework for the program can be found online at the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College Website.
When you submit your Plan of Study (iPOS), list Dina Brulles for faculty advisor as "Chair."
To determine the sequence in which you should take the courses in the program, click the dropdown that corresponds to the year when you started the program. The specific course sequence will also include the term (fall, spring or summer) and the session (A or B).
Culminating Experience
The capstone course is based on all the coursework you have taken over the 30 hours of your program. Students will be responsible for uploading specific projects from each course in the program into a Digication ePortfolio. Students will complete a reflection on these assignments to convey alignment of knowledge and experience with the professional standards and guidelines of the area of Gifted Education. Students will also create a scholarly paper based on program standards/content areas and courses identified in the individual program of study.
Students must earn a grade of B or higher in the culminating experience course.
