School of Education Philosophy
The philosophy of the School of Education has as its basis confluent education, which perceives learning as the merging of cognitive, affective, social, and psychomotor domains. This belief underscores the premise that education nurtures and promotes intellectual growth and the emotional, social, and physical well being of all students with a special focus on diversity and equity.
