Vision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We envision education as a catalyst for equity, justice, and collective liberation. The School of Educational Studies at UW Bothell strives to lead in inclusive, community-engaged research, teaching, and learning that transforms lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through collaboration, critical reflection, and community-informed advocacy, our students, staff, and faculty reimagine systems, co-create just and sustainable futures rooted in care and hope, and work toward a world where all individuals live in dignity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Diversity Statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The School of Educational Studies is an inclusive community that includes students, faculty, and staff of different backgrounds, including but not limited to age, language, cultural background, disability, ethnicity, family status, gender presentation, immigration status, national origin, race, religious and political beliefs, sex, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and veteran status.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beliefs, attitudes, and actions that foster understanding of self and others through curriculum, instruction, research, and focused learning activities are a valued component of SES courses and programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faculty create environments and support students to become critically engaged educators and citizens who design and integrate curriculum, instructional, and inquiry practices to promote equity and social justice across educational and community contexts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
