College of Education, Health, and Human Services

Across the six academic departments in the College of Education, Health, and Human Services, approximately 130 full-time and adjunct faculty serve the needs of approximately 1200 students each semester. In addition to faculty members who teach courses and supervise field experiences, dozens of school district teachers, school counselors, school psychologists, and school building leaders serve as part of the clinical educator pool to host and mentor our practicum students, student teachers, residents, and interns.

The College of Education, Health, and Human Services Conceptual Framework and Dispositions statements specifically speak to a commitment to social justice. We expect candidates to become advocates for all learners, proactively addressing injustice within and beyond the school setting. In our mission statement, we expect to develop graduates who will value diversity in all its forms and advocate for Social Justice. The EPP Policy Handbook thoroughly articulates a Diversity policy that speaks to the processes described below.

The faculty of the College of Education, Health, and Human Services believes that the role of schools is to promote authentic learning by all students. The role of educators in meeting that goal is to function as socially conscious catalysts for change who create and sustain school environments where excellence is cherished and social justice flourishes.
