Making good on the promise of public education. http://education.uic.edu
The College of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago is committed to preparing teachers, school leaders, researchers, and policymakers who can transform public education at multiple levels and in ways that benefit children for whom education can, and should make the most difference. Our mission is to prepare educators who can be critical thinkers and advocates, and who continue to develop the knowledge and skills that are necessary to prepare children to be productive citizens in the world.
Our work within our departments and within school and community contexts supports the College's mission by preparing high-quality educators and researchers who can work effectively in Chicago neighborhood schools, institutions of higher education, and other urban educational and community agencies, and who become leaders in urban education locally, nationally, and internationally. Of primary importance to us is the relevance of our work to improving schooling and educational processes in low-income, African American, and Latino communities.
We are a community of scholars committed to educational equity as it contributes to social, political and economic parity. We develop new knowledge about education that improves teaching, learning and assessment; informs policy and practice; and is valued by the communities we serve. We direct our teaching, research and public service to all learners, but particularly those in urban environments.
