The Specialist in Education (Ed.S.) in Curriculum & Instruction is a degree designed to meet the needs of practicing and aspiring professionals, who already hold a master’s degree in an appropriate field, to serve various functions in established and emerging educational activities. The Literacy & the Arts specialization at the University of Florida is dedicated to expanding the education of exemplary practitioners and scholars who understand that we have multiple mental and emotional tools for learning. These tools may be iconic, linguistic, musical or kinesthetic. We seek to promote the integration of multiple texts, be they paper, canvas, sound or gesture. We are committed to assisting all students, whatever their cultural and linguistic background, in developing their aesthetic perception and expression in ways they find most meaningful; and in helping them to define their own ways to lead productive, insightful, and purposeful lives as members of a democratic society. Literacy & the Arts is an interdisciplinary specialization that allows already certified teachers to customize graduate programs of study according to their specific talents, needs, interests, and teaching situations. Our principle mission is to create a community of teachers interested in infusing their practice with creativity and project-directed learning, in a program with a pragmatic and individually shaped focus. So, if your passion is the visual arts, music, dance, drama, technology or some integration of the arts, this specialization will support those interests. This specialization will not provide any type of teaching certification. However, its position in the College of Education means that the perspective will have a clear “classroom filter.” But it is a filter that seeks to integrate and individualize rather than standardize. Teachers can design a program that will enhance their professional qualifications in personally challenging and satisfying ways. The Literacy & the Arts specialization is designed to be flexible in responding to individual needs. To enter the program, applicants must submit a statement of purpose that describes their interests and their reasons for entering the program. To support their work, students will choose an advisor who will help them craft a program designed around each person’s interest. For an Ed.S, students will also form a supervisory committee of two faculty members.
