Program Overview

The Education Department's instructional programs are designed to engage students deeply in educational theory, research, and practice for a multilingual, multicultural society. We embrace sociocultural perspectives on schools, society, and research in order to emphasize the centrality of language, community, and social contexts in teaching, learning, and education. Our primary objective is to improve educational opportunities for low-income and culturally and linguistically diverse students, and the teachers who serve them.
