About SOE

The vision of the U-M School of Education is to be a premier School of Education devoted to developing civically engaged children, youth, and adults for a diverse and inclusive society.

Our mission is to generate, study, and teach strategies, practices, and tools for addressing educational problems and to prepare practitioners, policy-makers, and researchers who can develop equitable and just educational opportunities.

Further, we are committed to tolerance, sensitivity, understanding, and mutual respect everywhere within our community and we affirm our promise to make the School of Education a welcoming place for all.
