Teaching and Leadership
Teaching and Leadership prepares educators to foster active learning and academic achievement among all students in inclusive environments. Our graduates serve as principled leaders and advocates for students in their schools, communities and professions. We are home to programs in undergraduate and graduate teacher preparation, graduate preparation in school leadership, and doctoral programs that prepare teacher educators and researchers.
We Prepare Teachers…
The goal of our teacher preparation programs is to prepare educators who will gain and use knowledge of educational theories and research, technology, and subject content to promote active learning and excellence in all the students; work effectively and equitably with students with a variety of backgrounds and abilities; and develop their own theories of practice, reflect on and assess their own and their students’ work, and continually improve their practice. more information
We Prepare School Leaders…
We prepare school leaders through our Certificate of Advanced Study (C.A.S.) program in Educational Leadership. Through students’ active engagement, rigorous scholarship and dialogue, and close connections between the University and the field, we prepare candidates for schools where continuous learning and support for the learning of others is emphasized. We define as leaders those who make such learning possible. more information
We Prepare Researchers
The basic purpose of our doctoral programs is to prepare teacher educators to conduct scholarship in curriculum, instruction, and school leadership and to preserve on-going professional development for teachers and leaders. more information
