Education Overview
“We are not just preparing our students for the classroom, we are preparing our students to be conscientious global citizens. Through the lens of the seventeen UN Sustainable Development Goals, students examine the role education can play in making all communities more sustainable and equitable. Our students learn how to reflect on their own belief systems and how they can contribute to the profession. We value faculty who are current in best practices and are able to transmit their experiences to our future teachers.”
– KRISTIN HARTY, Ph.D., program director

Educational Research Methods
In the Educational Research Methods class, Education majors conduct an action research project for Environmental Charter School (ECS). Chatham students visited the ECS intermediate school, talked with school leaders, then designed a survey to examine how ECS students understand the concepts of equity and sustainability. Results from class analysis of the data were given to ECS school leaders to guide them in their continued work teaching about these concepts.
