MA Curriculum and Instruction resources in Waggoner Library

Welcome to the MA Curriculum and Instruction Research Guide

"One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is a vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child."   

- Carl Jung

Resources include eBooks, online full-text journal articles & newspapers, statistical sources, use of RefWorks for research, access to print books, study spaces, and expert research help as needed.
