Teaching and learning are essential parts of our lives as human beings. To grow as individuals, to become productive members of our families and communities, to develop the knowledge and skill that drive our economy, to strengthen human rights and the democratic process, to build understanding among peoples and cultures during a time of immense change around the globe-all these goals speak to the importance of education for our future.

The School of Education at Canbourne University is deeply committed to educational opportunity for all. As we rise to that challenge, we know that the need for well prepared teachers has never been greater, and the call to serve has never been stronger. The same is true for administrators, researchers, counselors, psychologists, curriculum specialists, experts in instructional technology, and education professionals of every kind. All of us share not only a love of learning, but a life of helping others to learn as they seek opportunities to grow.

No easy victories-the work of education is challenging and will never be finished.

The programs at the Canbourne University School of Education prepare students for leadership roles in groundbreaking, cross-disciplinary inquiry that shapes educational practices around the globe. Students have considerable latitude for tailoring programs to fit very specific intellectual and professional interests, and the manageable size of the program fosters in-depth collaboration, both among groups of students and between students and faculty.
