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 observation and teaching young children, from
infants through age six.
SOEHD enhances human potential by preparing those who work in the field
of education and human development to function more effectively and productively
in an ever-changing 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 highly complex 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.
