Dr. Josephine C. Agnew-Tally, Dean, School for Education

Welcome to the website of the School for Education (SFE) at Park University!  I invite you to browse the site to learn about our programs, faculty, staff, and other services. This site has been designed to introduce you to the values, vision, and mission of our School.  In collaboration with our university and community stakeholders, the SFE has identified a vision based on upholding the best practices of the past, experimenting with and researching new ideas, and helping professionals accept their roles as leaders in education within our global society. Our mission is to prepare reflective change agents, advocates for equity and excellence for all children, and effective school professionals, who are competent and committed professionals. The SFE is the unit primarily responsible for preparing professional educators at the university.
