As we reflect on our progress this past year, the theme of this report — Building a Brighter Future — resonates deeply with our purpose at the Berkeley School of Education (BSE). Here we cultivate courageous educators and researchers committed to transformational change in education.
The health of our schools, communities, and democracy depends on the strength of our educational systems, making our work to develop educational professionals, interventions, and research more urgent than ever before. We are equipping todayʼs educators to actively advance equity in their classrooms, schools, and communities through research-based development and professional learning. And we are extending the reach of our work through our new Educational Sciences major and bachelor's of science degree, extended partnerships, and our immersive virtual classroom — an exciting learning space laced with cutting edge technology.
Please read Berkeley School of Education's 2024 Impact report to know more about our accomplishments this year and our priorities for the future.
As dean at Berkeley School of Education, I am constantly impressed by the impact the school makes at Berkeley and beyond. I look forward to the meaningful work ahead.
Sincerely,
Michelle D. Young
