About the Program: School of Education Mission
The School of Education at California State University Channel Islands works collaboratively with communities to prepare culturally sustaining educators who inspire learning and promote belonging, equity, accessibility, and justice.
The https://education.csuci.edu/ (SOE) builds from the foundations of the undergraduate Liberal Studies option in Teaching & Learning, the undergraduate Early Childhood Studies program, and academic majors in biology, English, mathematics, history, and social studies, and extends to the Master of Arts in Education and Educational Leadership. SOE's programs contribute to the education profession by producing teachers and school administrators who believe that all students can achieve high standards, who adapt their teaching to reach all students and who embrace the diversity of all students. These graduates are reflective about their teaching, their attitudes, and their ability to work in collaborative analytical teams. SOE strives to prepare educators to uplift, inspire, and engage all students, families, and communities with whom they work and works to advance issues of equity, diversity, inclusion, and teaching/educating for justice.
