The School of Education serves a diverse student body from its geographical area and also attracts students from national and international communities. The School provides students a community in which to engage in original inquiry and creative expression in an atmosphere of intellectual freedom. This community of learners provides students the opportunity to realize their intellectual and personal potential and to become responsible, productive members of society. Increasing the diversity of our student body and our faculty have been goals for the School of Education for many years. We are continuously experimenting with strategies to increase students' exposure to diverse people and communities, and to foster an understanding and appreciation of diversity among our students.
Cultural sensitivity is addressed in our teacher standards and is a core element of our mission.
