Master of Arts | Spring 2027 thru Fall 2028

Learning Design & Technology for SVVSD Educators

Education is shifting rapidly. AI, cognitive science, and changing learning environments are reshaping how people learn and engage. This CU Denver Master's program prepares St. Vrain Valley educators to navigate that change using the Science of Learning — an evidence-based framework for designing learning experiences that support the whole learner.

Who is this for?

Built for teachers ready to lead with evidence.

Are you a teacher who is student-directed and collaborative? Do you want to lead with evidence and design learning experiences that actually stick? We encourage applications from SVVSD educators who are ready to take innovative risks and elevate their classroom practice.
