Our mission is to prepare administrator, counselor, and teacher leaders who advocate fo

Our vision is guided by social justice and advocacy, we will reimagine education to disrupt inequities and to meet the future needs of students and communities. Guiding Principles:

Equity - We utilize equity as a lens for all decision-making regarding policies, procedures, programs and outreach with stakeholders. Inquiry Into Practice - We cultivate scholar-practitioners who value asking bold questions through community-based inquiry that serves to disrupt the status quo in education, affecting access, equity and inclusion for all learners. Authentic Context - We are committed to the development and delivery of innovative practices, informed by the needs of our current communities, that lead to student inquiry, curiosity and meaningful learning. Community - We will expand and sustain meaningful, reciprocal transformative relationships between and within Cal Lutheran, educational institutions, and community agencies that enrich candidates' learning and professional growth.
