CTL: Curriculum and Pedagogy Overview

Program Description

The Curriculum and Pedagogy (C&P) program is a forum for systematic reflection on curriculum and pedagogy, viewed in the broadest sense as educational experiences and the learning and teaching experiences that occur in both formal and informal settings. This includes a critical examination of the substance (subject matter, courses, programs of study), purposes, and the practices and relationships through which teaching and learning happen in educational settings. Given the diverse academic and research interests of faculty members, the program is organized into six program emphases.

The C&P program offers the following six program emphases:

  • Arts in Education
  • Critical Studies in Curriculum and Pedagogy
  • Digital Technologies in Education
  • Indigenous Education and Decolonization
  • Science, Mathematics and Technology (SMT)
  • Wellbeing

PhD, MA, and MEd students enrolled in the C&P program are required to complete three courses from a list of courses affiliated with the emphasis, in order to have the emphasis noted on their transcript. Upon successful completion of the emphasis requirements and successful completion of the degree requirements, students may make a request with the C&P administrator, prior to graduation, to have the emphasis noted on the student transcript.


CTL: Language and Literacies Education Overview

Program Description

The Language and Literacies Education program investigates questions about the relationships of literacies in language and language in literacies across communities, societies, instructional environments, and informal learning settings.

Language and Literacies Education courses address current issues in the study of applied linguistics and literacies, such as:

  • The learning, teaching, and use of additional, Indigenous, official, international/heritage, and sign languages and literacies;

  • Curriculum, instruction, and assessment related to the development of first and additional languages and K–12 literacy skills;

  • The development of bilingual, multilingual, and translinguistic abilities;

  • Language and literacy education policies and planning;

  • Pedagogy oriented to multiliteracies development, including early literacy and adolescent reading, writing and oral language development, and children’s literature across the curriculum;

  • Social justice issues related to plurilingualism and cultural and linguistic diversity; and

  • Pedagogical implications of the fact that language and literacy are infused into all aspects of learning in contexts characterized by linguistic diversity.
