It has been noted that learning and development occur through the agency of other human beings. At different times, these other human beings may be parents, friends, school teachers, or university faculty. The education they provide may be not only in school classrooms, but also within families and communities, or in cyberspace. The Faculty of the Education Department is vitally concerned with these essential human transactions, how they occur, what effects they have, and what affects them. Our faculty also is vitally concerned to prepare the next generation of thinkers, leaders, and scholars in the several fields of education. In this pursuit, we want our students to understand not only education in school classrooms, but also, in the broader, and increasingly multicultural, multilingual, and digital world we occupy. So, our students explore different angles of vision; they observe the differing effects of schools and institutions, the mediating effects of culture and language, the facilitating or constraining effects of leadership and public policy, and the profound effects of human differences. Through its research and teaching, the faculty mentors each individual student, works to elevate them as educators, and inspires in them enduring commitments to learning, scholarship, and excellence.
