Welcome Message
Welcome to the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at California State University, Los Angeles.
Our department is focused on preparing transformative educators who center justice and equity while adding critical inquiry skills to their teaching practices. Whether you're an aspiring teacher, a skilled educator pursuing advanced credentials, or a community member engaged in reimagining pedagogy, you belong here.
Our programs are rooted in community empowerment, culturally sustaining pedagogies, and a deep commitment to teaching as a liberatory act. As Chair, I am proud to work alongside dynamic colleagues who each deliver both scholarly expertise and rich lived experiences to the classroom.
We invite you to discover our programs, meet our faculty, and become a part of a department dedicated to reimagining what education and teacher training can be.
A.Dee Williams, Ph.D.
