Educating Tomorrow's Future
In the evolution of teaching, we’ve taken a quantum leap forward. We have new ideas for a new era in education. We definitely give a respectful nod to the past, but we’re much more focused on the future. We’re like a baking-soda-volcano science project ready to explode with ideas, evidence and impact: We are changing the way educators educate. But we can’t do it without you.
With a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, we're ensuring that students of all backgrounds get the best education possible at all levels of school. But we need your help to bring this plan to life. With your support, we can develop smart and empathetic teachers and educational leaders who are equipped with the skills necessary to thrive in today's changing classroom. Moreover, your support means we can work proactively to prepare teachers in high-demand fields to ensure that we're meeting our community's needs of tomorrow, today.
Acutely aware of the power teachers have to truly impact students’ lives, Dean Dr. Amy Smith is passionate that every child – regardless of ZIP code, race or gender – deserves excellent educators. With a commitment to supporting children, Smith intends to make positive change happen by embracing a collaborative and community-based approach to tackling complex challenges facing education today.
We don't just talk about making an impact on our community, we're making a difference in our community every single day. St. Thomas’ School of Education is partnering with St. Paul Public Schools to better prepare future teachers, while bringing innovative instruction to one of their longest-serving elementary schools.
