DePaul University-College Of Education

Our purpose is to prepare extraordinary educators characterized by their exceptional understanding of leading practices in education, their belief in the importance of individual dignity and personal responsibility, and their desire to be life-long learners. We also promote positive dispositions in our students including a respect for others, an appreciation of diversity and a continuous examination of values. With a commitment to the poor and disenfranchised in society, we believe in education as a force for social justice. We also strive to be a community of learners who engage in dialogue and inquiry leading to the improvement of educational practices in schools, communities and higher education.
