The mission of the School of Inclusive Teacher Education is to build and sustain a dynamic, collaborative community of

a community of inclusion, collaboration, and respect for students, faculty, and staff. A strong sense of community serves as the central

innovation in all academic programs and related experiences. The College has extensive partnerships across professional, school, and
community settings that facilitate collaboration for student experiences and research opportunities.
