School of Education 5-Year Strategic Plan Previewed at Dean's Advisory Board Meeting

On June 6, Professor Gilberto Conchas, Director of Community Engagement and Student Success, welcomed members of the School of Education's Dean's Advisory Board to the first meeting hosted by Dean Richard Arum.

Dean Arum used the opportunity to preview the School's new 5-year Strategic Plan and solicit member input. He explained how the plan has been developed around the School's newly-defined mission to "cultivate a new generation of educators who contribute to a transformational shift in education that ensures all students are adequately prepared to lead successful and productive lives." 

The Strategic Plan is built upon three key components: growth in faculty and doctoral student enrollment, revised and expanded educational program design, and the following six strategic initiatives:

1. Orange County Community Engagement
2. UCI Undergraduate Innovation Model
3. Digital Education and Technology
4. Language and Literacy
5. Out-of-School Learning
6. International Collaboration

Associate Professors Rossella Santagata and Elizabeth van Es provided additional detail about the community engagement initiative, which will includes a Center for Longitudinal Data Analysis, an Instructional Improvement Academy, and opportunities for up to six school partnerships promoting research to practice.

Dean Arum closed the breakfast meeting by inviting members to attend the upcoming School of Education programs planned for the 2017-2018 school year at the UCI Student Center and open to the public.
