Concentration Areas

Advanced Studies in Teaching and Learning (ASTL)

The ASTL Concentrations are for practicing teachers and other educators who want to continue to grow professionally. The program is comprised of two components: 12 credits in Education Core focused on critical inquiry and reflection, learning theory, pedagogy, culture, and educational change, plus 18-21 credits in an area of specialization, called the Concentration. The successful completion of these two program components comprises the master’s degree. All ASTL Concentrations provide advanced, graduate-level coursework taught by experienced faculty in that specialization area. The courses, aligned with the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, help teachers think and practice as board-certified teachers. The program helps practicing teachers develop as equity-centered content and pedagogical leaders. ASTL helps develop teacher-leaders who take an inquiry stance on their educational practice and who lead from the classroom and beyond as they contribute to ongoing school improvement and educational change. While developing expertise in a content area and enhancing their understanding of culturally and linguistically diverse students and families, teachers reflect critically on issues of equity and social justice, and use systematic inquiry to inform decision-making and effect change.

Experienced teachers and other educators with or without a master's degree may apply for the master's degree program. The ASTL program also provides an option for teachers to earn a Gifted Education Graduate Certificate.

Specific content and endorsement courses are required; all courses are taught in cohorts only. Two cohort models (one-or two-semester internships) provide flexibility for all students. The two-semester internship cohort begins each spring and fall semester; the one-semester internship cohort begins each summer semester. Contact the Elementary Program for additional information.

All students are required to submit and successfully complete a series of performance-based assessments. These assessments include content knowledge, pedagogical skills, and dispositions.

Students enrolled in this concentration must earn a B or higher in all coursework. 

Prior to internship, students must successfully complete:

  • Emergency First Aid, CPR and AED certification 
  • Virginia Communication & Literacy Assessment (VCLA)
  • Praxis Teaching Reading: Elementary
  • Praxis Subject Assessment for Elementary Education
  • Content Area Endorsement Coursework

Licensure testing requirements are determined by the Commonwealth of Virginia and may change at any time. If changes to these requirements occur, students must meet the current testing and licensure requirements as set forth in the legal Code of Virginia.

Literacy/Reading

A master's degree and one graduate certificate are available to teachers in grades K-12 who are interested in gaining additional expertise in literacy/reading instruction and leadership or in preparing to work as a reading specialist. Courses combine current research and theory with practical, hands-on experience. A graduate certificate focusing on literacy coaching is also available for current reading specialists or literacy leaders. Literacy(ies), Culture, and Reading is also available as a primary or secondary specialization in the PhD in Education degree program.

Concentration in Literacy Leadership for Diverse Schools: K-12 Reading Specialist (LLDR)

This concentration is designed for teachers with at least 1 year of teaching experience and includes a 21-credit sequence of courses in literacy/reading instruction and leadership and 9 credits in courses related to diverse learners (e.g., English as a second language [ESOL], special education, gifted education). Coursework helps teachers develop an in-depth understanding of literacy development, scientifically-based literacy research, and evidence-based instruction, assessment, and intervention in literacy. It also provides opportunities to develop the leadership skills needed to serve as a Reading Specialist. 

Completion of all requirements earns students a master's degree in curriculum and instruction plus eligibility for the K-12 Reading Specialist endorsement in Virginia. (Additional state licensure requirements include an initial teaching license, a satisfactory score on the state-mandated licensure exam, and at least 3 years of teaching experience under contract). Some coursework in ESOL, special education, and/or gifted education may be applied toward add-on licenses in those areas.

Students must earn a B- or higher in all licensure coursework.

Secondary Education (6–12)

The secondary education concentrations with a licensure component are designed to meet the needs of individuals who wish to be licensed or need to satisfy the requirements of a provisional license to teach at the secondary level. Specific endorsement areas are biology, chemistry, computer science, earth science, English, history and social science, mathematics, and physics. Note: Only six credits (in total) may be taken as non-degree or transferred (with coordinator approval) from another accredited institution.

Grading Policy

Students enrolled in this degree program must earn a B or higher in all coursework.

Field Experience

Clinical experiences in public schools will be required throughout the program (a maximum of 15-30 clock hours per course or 45 clock hours per term). Arrangements will be made at the beginning of each term.

Internship Options

A 6-credit 16-week daytime internship is required for completion of the state-approved licensure program. The internship can be completed in either a full-time 16-week experience in one semester or in a half-time 32-week experience in two consecutive semesters.

Two options are available to meet the needs of most individuals:

  • Student teaching internship: A one-term daytime internship in the classroom of a mentor teacher. Teacher candidate assumes co teaching and independent teaching responsibilities.
  • On-the-job internship: Available only to students who are employed as full-time provisionally licensed teachers and teaching in their endorsement area in an accredited middle or secondary school and want to complete a master's degree. In lieu of an internship, provisionally licensed teachers may choose to use their full-time teaching to satisfy the experience requirement for a full license; however, the 30-credit master's degree requires that 6 credits of approved coursework be substituted for the internship.
