The Curry College Master of Education concentration in Diverse and Equitable Instruction provides educators, across multiple settings, with an opportunity to develop more self-awareness and a deeper understanding of the current research and best practices for diverse and equitable instruction inclusive of all learners.
Across the courses, students will explore multiple perspectives and frameworks that will provide them with a comprehensive background in the critical aspects of DEI and the implementation of educational practices that create safe and effective spaces for diverse groups. The culminating thesis of the program will allow students to apply new learning focused on one facet of DEI that is most applicable to their respective field.
"At Curry College in the Graduate Ed program, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion centers our work-- it drives what we teach and how we teach. As a psychologist and educator, I have spent the last 20 years examining how culture influences behavior and teaching about such influences. I am committed to engaging Curry students to deepen their understanding of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion."
As director of Curry’s Graduate Programs in Education, Dr. Giordana Basta has set in motion a path for her students to understand what equitable education means as they consider careers in the field. With the help of colleagues, Dr. Basta has established a chance for students to earn an M.Ed. in Diverse and Equitable Instruction (DEI) at Curry.
