Teaching in Higher Education for the Creative Disciplines Certificate (Graduate)
The Teaching in Higher Education for the Creative Disciplines Certificate program in the College of Education and Human Development at Temple University provides students with experience using research-based teaching methods to promote student achievement, development and learning in creative disciplines. Through the certificate, students gain advanced pedagogical skills to meet the particular needs of students in postsecondary creative arts classrooms and studios. Students combine research-based practices, learner-centered course design, and motivation and reflection skills to provide support to students in the development of their creative process and product.
