About the Program:

The School of Education builds from the foundations of the undergraduate Liberal Studies option in Teaching & Learning, the undergraduate Early Childhood Studies program, and academic majors in biology, English, mathematics, history, and social studies, and extends to the Master of Arts in Education. The School's programs contribute to the education profession by producing teachers and school administrators who believe that all students have the ability to achieve high standards, who adapt their teaching to reach all students and who embrace the diversity of all students. These graduates are reflective about their teaching, their attitudes and their ability to work in collaborative analytical teams. The School strives to prepare educators to uplift, inspire, and engage all students, families, and communities with whom they work and works to advance issues of equity, diversity, inclusion, and teaching/educating for justice.

The School has approximately 15 full-time faculty, 55 part-time faculty, 14 staff, and over 900 students. Undergraduate degree programs are offered in Early Childhood Studies and Liberal Studies with emphases in Teaching and Learning and Concentrated Studies.

The School has partnerships and MOUs with many local school districts for field placements and is engaged in residency and co-teaching models for student teaching in many of the credential programs.

The School currently offers two master's degrees: an MA in Educational Leadership with emphases in P-12 and Higher Education and an MA in Education with emphases in Curriculum and Instruction and Disability Studies. Licensure for the school administrator's credential is offered with courses closely aligned to the P-12 emphasis in the MA in Educational Leadership. A Credential Office, Field Placement Office, and the California Physical Education Health Project currently report to the Dean of the School of Education. The School intends to launch its Ed.D. in Educational Leadership in Fall 2023.

Funding sources and activities include: the Bechtel Foundation, Early Assessment Program, California Teachers Summit, Math and Science Teacher Initiative, Federal TEACH grants, Chancellor's Doctorate Initiative Program, and the Sally Casanova Pre-Doctoral Program.
