"Excellence through Collaborative Communities of Learners "

Philosophy/Mission: 
The mission of our master's programs within the College of Education is threefold.  First, we seek to facilitate appropriate avenues of professional development for practicing, certified educators by collaboration with a wide array of organizations seeking to be part of the school improvement process.  Second, we strive to align master's degree programs with the statewide school improvement direction in Illinois and Wisconsin.  Third, we develop school leaders for classroom, school and community who will provide direction for area schools in the next millennium.  

The mission of the program is achieved through appropriate partnerships between the University and organizations that have a primary interest in and responsibility for achieving educational excellence, including schools, districts, agencies, and in-service entities.  While maintaining ultimate academic control and responsibility for academic excellence, the University welcomes an active and instrumental role for its partners in the delivery of the program, and in working within the design of the program to achieve the goals of schools, districts, and other responsible entities.
