The USC Rossier School of Education, one of the world's leading centers for urban education, has a longstanding partnership with the "USC Family of Schools" located near the University Park campus. Many Rossier students volunteer in the program, providing tutoring in math, reading, science and health. |
The USC Rossier School of Education is one of the world's premier centers for the study of urban education. The school is committed to preparing teachers, researchers, counselors, administrators and curricular specialists for leadership positions. The mission of the School of Education is to strengthen urban education locally, nationally and globally. Educators in urban areas face a unique set of challenges, including poverty, density, mobility and immigration; strained social conditions around housing, healthcare and crime; and cultural and linguistic diversity. Urban education takes place in many contexts including pre-kindergarten through high school, human services, higher education and workplace settings.
We seek to transform urban education by:
- Preparing and developing educational leaders who are change agents with a commitment to improving urban education and competencies to address the complex educational and social issues facing urban communities.
- Leading the search for innovative, efficacious and just solutions to the challenges in urban education by engaging in research on educational practices and policy.
- Creating mutually beneficial partnerships to rethink curriculum, improve educational environments and develop sound policy.
The School of Education is committed to four academic themes that guide all academic, research and service efforts within our school and serve as a guide for meeting the school's mission. These themes are leadership, diversity, learning and accountability.
