About the School of Education

Three overarching purposes guide the programs of the CSU, Chico School of Education. Our programs prepare teachers and other school personnel for:

• Effective Practice: to provide meaningful educational experiences to promote achievement of learning objectives for all learners, based on knowledge of content, of learners, and of pedagogy and informed by appropriate assessment and analysis.
• Reflective Practice: to continuously reflect on and improve their own professional practice, based on information gleaned from data analysis, experts, peers and research.
• Engaged Practice: to collaborate with others; to serve as instructional leaders and team members in their schools, districts, and professional organizations; and to be advocates for students, families, schools, communities and the education professions.
