Our Strategic Plan
After months of dialogue, deliberations, and reflections by our faculty, students, and staff, our college unanimously adopted a new 3-year strategic plan in January 2020. Additionally, our college is committed to taking action to advance racial justice in our community and our faculty, staff, and students have identified several priorities for the 2020-2021 academic year to continue to decolonize our own institution and the systems within which we operate.
Strategic Plan Identity Statement
At the SJSU Lurie College of Education, we prepare transformative educators, counselors, therapists, school and community leaders. We do this through an emancipatory approach across our teaching, scholarship, and service with a focus on the four areas below.
1 - Community-Engaged
We strive to become the hub for community-centered, educational transformation in the region.
2 - Culturally Sustaining
We value and sustain the linguistic and cultural practices of the communities we serve and make that the foundation of our work.
3 - Holistic
We foster a caring and supportive community of belonging, connectedness, and appreciation.
4 - Interdisciplinary
We learn together across and beyond the college, transforming schooling and benefitting our communities.
