Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The crises through which the world has passed and the demands for reconstruction to repair the losses caused by World War II, as well as the challenge to democracy, have intensified the recognition of the important part to be played in education.

Our world has become a complex technological maelstrom of rapid mobility, constant change, and interdependence in which the citizen must acquire certain critical abilities in order to survive.
