Leading Educational Innovation and Improvement

The intertwinement of teaching, research and learning is key to shaping the future of education. Since the establishment of the School of Education in 1921 we have been dedicated to leading the development of educational innovators and to shaping teaching and learning. With the Leading Educational Innovation and Improvement Micromasters we are supporting teachers and school leaders in improving educational practice through a stackable, modular and portable offering that can lead to a certificate, advance their career and accelerate their progress through the master’s program upon admission into the School of Education.
