Mission Statement
The mission of the Bloomsburg University School of Education is two-fold:
1) to enhance the quality of education by preparing professionals who are empowered to facilitate the learning, growth, and development of students in our diverse and technologically complex world; and
2) to serve as a resource to communities in the region.
A professional educator is a reflective practioner who is a knowledgeable and thoughtful facilitator of human growth and development. This professional cultivates in learners an ability to apply critical thinking to the solution of problems. This professional displays a sense of empowerment through:
+ the acquisition of a knowledge base
+ the ability to see connections between theory and practice
+ the use of technology for educational outcomes
+ an understanding of a wide variety of strategies for accommodating the developmental readiness and learning-style variations associated with all aspects of diversity
+ an application of this expertise to the broader community
As a resource, the School of Education serves schools, organizations, and families through a variety of endeavors which contribute to the vitality of our partnerships within the region. These endeavors include Board Memberships, Clinical Services, Consultantships, Field Activities, Inservice Programs, Research, and Service Learning.
