पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program is designed to foster the development of educational leaders, researchers, and practitioners who are prepared to approach issues and challenges in education from multiple perspectives and methodologies. LTSP draws on the disciplinary traditions of sociology, anthropology, psychology, philosophy, science, and the cognitive sciences, as well as interdisciplinary fields such as cultural studies, ethnic studies, and feminist, gender and sexuality studies to address contemporary educational policies, practices and curriculum in the K-12 and postsecondary arenas. LTSP is concerned with the most pressing issues facing our educational system today. Chief among these issues are the persistent patterns of educational inequality, particularly in the sciences, as well as the failure of apparently successful students to develop useful understandings of central science and mathematics concepts. The imperative for democratic participation through the development of critical and scientific literacies propels us to study the dynamic interactions between learners and a multicultural society. The faculty and students focus on a variety of research, teaching, and outreach with the aims of: improving practice, understanding the learner in the context of family, community, schools and society, stimulating more equitable social policies and school reform efforts. In addition to coursework in the relevant content area (M.P.S.), the M.P.S. requires an in-depth applied project. Graduates with prior provisional teaching certification and the appropriate teaching experience may use the M.P.S. to satisfy requirements for permanent New York State certification to teach, while other graduates work in formal educational settings that do not require state certification (e.g., extension, community colleges, private schools, business and industry), but require an advanced degree in the planning, delivery, and assessment of instruction.

Students seeking admission must have completed a bachelors’ degree. International students must take the GRE exam. Students whose native language is not English must take the TOEFL and have the official score reported to Cornell from the Educational Testing Service (ETS). Educational Testing Service provided a new Internet-based Test (iBT) version of the TOEFL. This new version will test all four language skills important for effective communication: writing, listening, reading, and speaking. Each section has its own score, and the Graduate School has set the following minimum scores for admissions: Writing: 20; Listening: 15; Reading: 20; Speaking: 22. Students will continue to accept scores for computer based (cBT) (213 minimum) and paper based (550 minimum) versions of the TOEFL that were taken within two years of the date.
