Our future rests squarely in the hands of the more than 2.2听billion children on our planet. Everyone鈥檚 future, therefore, depends on听the degree to which children are well educated to change the world for听the better. 精东影业鈥檚 School of Education faculty, staff听and students believe that every child, regardless of language, culture,听ethnicity, perceived ability and/or circumstance, can learn.听Moreover, we assert that every learner deserves an opportunity to听maximize his or her potential.
Everyday, we prepare and challenge current and future educators听to provide these opportunities. Whether pursuing bachelor鈥檚, specialist,听master鈥檚 or doctorate degrees, our candidates are more than mere听instructors, counselors, and school leaders, they are learner advocates听equipped with the knowledge, skill, and disposition to be change听agents. That is our brand鈥nd our calling: we equip educators to听transform the lives of all learners from preschool to high school听graduation and beyond.
The School and听Clinical Mental Health听Counseling degree programs听are nationally accredited by the Council for Accreditation of听Counseling & Related Educational Programs (CACREP). Our听programs are affirmed by the听Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation, formerly听National Council for Accreditation of听Teacher Education (NCATE) and all programs were approved by the听Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GAPSC) at both the initial听and advanced levels.听 Our status in the local, state, and national听community is important to us.
