I am pleased to introduce you to the School
of Education and the opportunities it holds for you as an educator.
We are located in Downtown Brooklyn. Our programs have
a complete urban focus and prepare teachers, counselors,
administrators, and school psychologists for the adventure
of urban education. A strength of the LIU/Brooklyn School
of Education is that many of our future and practicing
educators are themselves urban dwellers, immigrants, or
members of a wide variety of ethno-linguistic and racial
groups. They bring to the University the experiential knowledge
of diverse urban communities essential to educate the children
and families in these communities. Our location and our
students, in combination with our nationally recognized
faculty, make the School of Education an exciting place
to study.
The foundation of our programs is our KEEPS Mission.
Reading this carefully, you will see that we are an urban
education program grounded in important educational values
and structured around many opportunities for:
- work in schools and other educational settings;
- the development of an inquiry stance toward practice;
- the integration of theory and practice;
- achieving high standards.
We welcome you to our web-site. It will provide you the
full text of our KEEPS Mission, descriptions of all our
programs, and information about our faculty. You are also
welcome to contact us for further information by calling
us at 718-488-1055.
