Very low undergrad GPA, high Masters GPA

I am wanting to eventually earn a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction. An MAT doesn’t really help me there. I am taking the MAT because my undergraduate was very poor and the MAT was about the only program I could get into. But now that I’m working and not in extreme poverty anymore I’m able to show that I can do well on graduate level work. I just don’t think any Ph.D. programs at top schools will look at me with an MAT, hence me wanting to take a M.Ed. and improve my chances.
