Education Faculty

The Education Department faculty members have diverse interests but a common, passionate concern regarding education. Faculty interests include international education, disability studies, technology, racial issues, theater, women in science, environmental studies, human growth and development, peace and social justice and children’s literature to name a few. Education faculty think of the department as a “community of learners” within which work very closely with our students over a three year period, get to know each of them on an individual level, and help each our students become engaged and reflective teachers who know how to meet the diverse needs of their students.
