Overview

The Teaching and Learning - Curriculum, Advocacy and Policy major at National Louis University deconstructs disciplines through critical, interdisciplinary study, so students can understand what informs their practice. Curriculum, Advocacy, and Policy is one of three majors within the program, founded on the belief that:

Curriculum is best understood, not simply in terms of classrooms and schools, but as connected to larger social, cultural, political, and historical contexts
Advocacy for students, teachers, and educators leads to progressive change
Policy may be leveraged for the broader, common good.

Key Features

Curriculum studies is a concentration within curriculum and instruction concerned with understanding curricula as an active force of human educational experience. Additionally, Policy studies includes the analysis of both the process of policymaking and the contents of policy. Advocacy is a disposition for building a bridge between the two fields. Curriculum, Advocacy, and Policy therefore strives to be cross-disciplinary and is of increasing importance, not only to educational research, but to the philosophy of education more generally.
