From the Dean
Welcome!
The College of Education (COED) takes great pride in preparing outstanding teachers, school leaders, counselors, counseling psychologists, student affairs administrators, and university faculty. Our aim is to develop exemplary human service professionals -- individuals who will “Be The Difference” in their schools, institutions, organizations and communities.
All academic programs in the College of Education are deeply rooted in the tenets of social justice. Our students develop strongly held ideals of care, respect and advocacy for the well-being of all humankind under the guidance of caring faculty who are exceptional teachers and mentors and prominent scholars.
In addition, our students and faculty engage in a wide range of outreach activities, partnering with our many shareholders in urban, suburban and rural schools and communities, human service agencies and professional organizations. Our outreach efforts include hosting the Hartman Literacy and Learning Center for at-risk readers and directing the Behavior Clinic (at Penfield Children’s Center), which specializes in helping troubled pre-school children. We also exercise community leadership through our work with the Greater Milwaukee Catholic Education Consortium (GMCEC) and our popular Marquette Educator blog.
