Campaign Goals
Our programs of research, preparation, and outreach are unique for their multi- and interdisciplinary emphasis. Undergraduate and graduate preparation programs reflect the marriage of subject matter knowledge with teaching knowledge and skills, and research programs reflect the multiple perspectives that are so essential for dealing with today’s education issues. Our vision for professional service involves a conscious interweaving of teaching, research, leadership and service that makes a difference to teachers, administrators, and communities locally, nationally, and internationally. Faculty and students have strong disciplinary backgrounds and the School is actively engaged in collaborations and joint programs with a variety of educational agencies and many other academic units on campus. As a result, we provide the best preservice and inservice preparation in education leadership, research, and practice available anywhere. The University of Michigan has been a leader in education since 1879
, when it founded the country’s first professorship in the art and science of teaching. Our vanguard position as a leading School of Education gives us both the privilege and the responsibility of setting a course for the future. We are poised to meet this challenge head-on. Together we can work to unite teaching, research, and professional practice in the service of the public good, investing new hope in education, and charting the course for another 125 years of global educational leadership at the University of Michigan.
