EDCI 59100: Field Experience/Final Project Course focuses on a final project in culmination of their experiences in the online Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. Participants will identify a final project of inquiry in their area of emphasis in their local or nearby school contexts to examine and analyze using the format of a case study or action research. Students will articulate various theories and frameworks to support their final project in Curriculum and Instruction. The project will be the final course within the online Masters in Curriculum and Instruction.

82 Discussion & Questions
83 Update on EDCI Graduate Program Review (A. Rodriguez) )
84 Graduate Program Review CommitteeInvite you to participate on a brainstorming activity. Our goal is to encourage you to reflect about your program’s goals, how well you think your program’s goals are being met, and what else can be done to make improvements. We also wish to start a conversation about what makes us unique as a graduate program. To this end, join members of your program area, and complete the two T-charts below using poster paper and markers.
85 Graduate Program Review CommitteeWe have limited time to discuss this activity as whole group, so we would appreciate your focused attention. Make sure to write your program area on your T-charts Thanks Brainstorm within your program area, and use bullet points to highlight the responses from your group:
86 Graduate Program Review CommitteeT- CHART 1: OK vs. Can we do better? T-Chart 2: What it is vs. What else can we do? 1. What kind of graduate student do you tend to attract to your program? 2. What kind of graduate student would you like to attract? 1. What do you want your graduate students to know (and do) after graduating from your specific program? 2. What else do you wish your graduate students to know (or be able to do) after graduating from your specific program?
