About DePaul's School of Education
The School of Education is a high quality professional education program that is guided by a conceptual framework, the Urban Professional Multicultural Educator. The framework is knowledge-based and is the foundation for all School of Education programs. A carefully chosen array of theorists and research data, as well as experience with best practice in the field, provide the academic content and structure in each of the programs. The conceptual framework is also shaped by the diverse students who enter its programs and by the urban clientele they are being prepared to serve. The DePaul student is actively involved in learning, analyzing, discussing, assessing and applying the appropriate body of knowledge for each program. The commitment to multicultural and urban educational values is enriched further by the Vincentian spirit, especially personalism, that touches every aspect of the University.
