Strategic Plan 2000-2005
MISSION
Embracing
the ideals of democracy, diversity, and an open society
as its most fundamental principles, the College of Education
seeks to provide Iowa, the nation, and the world with thoroughly
informed scholarship and creative endeavors dedicated to
the enrichment of education as both a profession and as
a broad field of inquiry. Because the range of our scholarly
interests is large, we define educational scholarship in
its broadest sense as including the scholarship of discovery,
integration, application, and teaching. With the charge
to prepare educators to work with citizens in a pluralistic,
technologically sophisticated, and global society, our
commitments manifest themselves in research on human development
and learning, pedagogical practice, counseling, educational
policy, curriculum, and assessment. Serving the professional
needs of this multifaceted field requires a faculty that
draws on a strong affiliation with the liberal arts and
that supports and promotes student learning through cutting-edge
research, exposure to multiple perspectives, challenging
and diverse field experiences, and service dedicated to
improving the practice of teaching and its allied professional
fields.
