Mission

The School of
Education is responsible for providing
leadership, coordination, and evaluation
of all teacher education programs at the
University. Its central purpose is to
provide pre-service and in-service
educational programs to prospective
teachers, in-service teachers,
administrators and others engaged in
educational activities in other
agencies. Corollary purposes are:
- To contribute
to the knowledge base in the field
of educational theory and practice
in a multi-cultural, multi-lingual,
and multi-racial society.
- To provide
leadership in involving public
schools, universities, and
communities in collaborative
educational efforts.
- To provide
service to other agencies engaged in
education in such a manner as to
promote the realization of equal
educational opportunity and equal
educational results for all
children.
Developed by the
School of Education and the professional
community, the conceptual framework is
supported by a strong knowledge base. It
provides a system for ensuring coherence
and well-articulated professional
commitment to knowledge, teaching
competence, leadership and P-12 student
learning.
