Established in 1908, the St. John’s University School of
Education was the second school in New York State to award graduate
degrees to teachers. Today, the School has three
departments: Department of Curriculum and Instruction; the
Department of Administrative and Instructional Leadership; and the
Department of Human Services and Counseling. In 2002, U.S. News and
World Report featured the School in its list of "America’s Best
Graduate Schools."
Objectives
The School of Education has four major goals, consistent with the
mission and distinctive purposes of St. John's University: to
foster a culture of academic excellence and commitment to moral
values; to provide for the professional development of faculty and
students; to support and encourage excellence in teaching and
scholarly research; and to serve as a partner and resource to the
larger educational community. Specifically, the School’s purpose is
to:
- Afford a vibrant learning experience that supports the
intellectual, professional and moral development of students.
- Provide programs that enable the School’s students to function
effectively and professionally in today’s dynamic, multicultural,
multi-ethnic society.
- Encourage students to develop a personal education philosophy
consistent with the University's mission.
- Foster basic and applied research in education and human
services, in an environment that encourages collaboration among
students and faculty.
- Serve as a resource center to the educational community at
large by providing leadership and supportive services for local,
state and national associations; sponsoring professional meetings
and seminars; and offering consultative services for schools and
community agencies.
