The GSE Mission

The mission of the Graduate School of Education is to showcase the UTK professional education research community and its engagement in the generation and sharing of knowledge designed to improve student opportunity, achievement, and success. The GSE strives to foster a deeper understanding of education throughout the local, regional, national, and international community. The GSE serves to build and strengthen collaborations across departments, programs, and services in education.

Greetings from the Director

Welcome to the Graduate School of Education website. The GSE includes the departments of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, Educational Psychology and Counseling, Theory and Practice in Teacher Education, and the Early Childhood Education Program within Child and Family Studies. We have several new initiatives in development that will be showcased on this website soon. In the meantime, I encourage you to link to the departmental websites to learn more about the faculty, programs, and initiatives under way in each of these units.
