More About Our Department About the school : The
University of Colorado at Boulder School of Education is nationally
recognized for its model teacher education and graduate programs and
for its excellence in research methodology, educational policy, and
classroom research. Equally important are its close ties with
neighboring partner school districts and with educators throughout
Colorado. The
special character of this scholarly community comes from a shared
commitment to equal educational opportunity, diversity, and
research-based reform and from a strong tradition of collaborative
research. Priorities: To
promote the distinctive identity of the school by building on the
already visible contributions of individual faculty members and by
emphasizing our shared commitment to evidence-based policy and practice
and to democracy, diversity and social justice; To
produce research that makes a difference by bringing rigorous research
methods and analytic tools to bear in addressing the most pressing
questions affecting educational policy and practice; To
prepare teachers who display a passionate commitment to ensuring every
student learns, who embrace and demonstrate ethical behaviors and
democratic dispositions, and who excel in their knowledge of subject
matter, how people learn, the socio-cultural world of learners,
standards-based curriculum design, learner-centered pedagogies and
assessments, and the democratic context of schools; To
prepare graduate candidates who are well-trained in research
methodology, expert in their area of specialization, and broadly
knowledgeable about psychological, sociological, philosophical, and
historical research affecting education; To encourage candidates of color into teaching and research professions through recruitment and support; and To
enhance the effectiveness of our partnership and outreach activities by
fostering closer connections among teaching, research, and outreach
commitments.
