EDHD's Mission Vision Statements & Conceptual Framework
College of Education and Human Development Vision
The College is committed to developing a dynamic community of lifelong learners and leaders who celebrate the interconnections among individuals and disciplines in pursuit of improving society and the human condition.
College of Education and Human Development Mission
Bowling Green State University aspires to be the premier Learning Community in Ohio, and one of the best in the Nation. Through the interdependence of teaching, learning, scholarship, and service we will create an academic environment grounded in intellectual discovery and guided by rational discourse and civility.
Bowling Green State University serves the diverse and multicultural communities of Ohio, the United States and the world.
College of Education and Human Development Conceptual Framework
EDHD’s faculty and staff engaged in conversations about the ideas and principles that we share across our various roles and fields of studies. We asked, “What does, or should, the EDHD Experience mean?" In responding to that question, we developed the EDHD Conceptual Framework:
A Community of Inclusion, Collaboration, and Respect
Learn across differences by promoting equitable and inclusive practices
Leadership and Service
Develop capacities to lead and serve professions and communities
Integrative and Experiential Learning
Engage through practice and reflection
Inquiry and Innovation
Integrate theory and practice to generate knowledge and promote public good
Professional Preparation
Commit to meaningful personal and professional lives
While all of the principles are important, nothing else is possible if we are not part of a community of inclusion, collaboration, and respect. Consequently, we ask everyone who works in the College to commit to doing something that contributes to our community. As Helen Keller once said, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
