The Mission of the School
The primary mission of the School of Education and Human Development (SOEHD) is to prepare teachers and other educational leaders for service in public and private schools and other educational institutions.
SOEHD prepares highly competent educators and human development specialists, providing professional support and leadership to the area community, promoting applied research, and providing experiences and opportunities that will enable employed professionals to remain current in their fields.
Students attend classes, study, and work in a state-of-the-art Education Building. This five-story facility offers clinical areas and computer and microteaching laboratories. One of the special features is a Human Development Center that is organized for the observation and teaching of young children, from infants through age six.
SOEHD fosters the realization of human potential by preparing those who work in the field of education and human development to function more effectively and productively in a mutable and increasingly diverse society.
The SOEHD theme Making a Difference in a Diverse Society places considerable emphasis on an educator who can function effectively as both a practitioner and leader in a culturally and linguistically diverse society.
The basic preparation programs model is The Reflective Collaborative
Practitioner: a highly effective teacher who continues to remain on the
"cutting edge" of professional practice. The advanced programs
model is The Reflective Collaborative Leader who effectively serves in leadership
roles as a teaching specialist or provider of specialized services in support
of instruction.
