Professionals
The School of Education comprises a community of educators dedicated to improving
the quality of education throughout the state of Alaska. The mission of the School
of Education is to prepare educators and support the lifelong learning of professionals
to embrace diversity and to be intellectually and ethically strong, resilient, and
passionate in their work with Alaska’s learners, families, educators, and communities.
Our programs for professionals emphasize the power of learning to transform people’s
lives. Across the university, faculty members teach professional educators to work
in diverse settings, to form and sustain learning partnerships, and to provide learning
opportunities across the life span. We are confident that this preparation will result
in educators’ significant contributions to society.
