To accomplish this mission, the faculty in the Department of Educational Studies are engaged in best practices of teaching methodology and continue to explore research that examines a variety of school-related topics. Our faculty comes from diverse backgrounds academically and professionally, and from a variety of locations throughout the United States and the world and have a wealth of experience in Pre-K to 12 schools and higher education.
