History

The School of Education's commitment to education can be traced to the first charter of the University of Michigania, approved by the territorial government in 1817, which initially gave the University control over the state's entire system of public instruction. Although this arrangement was changed, the links between the University and the state's schools were firmly established. They have remained strong through the years. UM also has campuses in Dearborn and Flint. ...


In the spring of 1879, the Regents of the University created the Chair of the Science and Art of Teaching, the first full-time, permanent professorial chair in any American college or university devoted exclusively to the preparation of teachers. This regental act recognized the fact that many University students would become teachers and school administrators and that without instruction in education they would not be prepared for their work.


John Dewey spent time at the University of Michigan and while not directly involved in the education program he did make a big imprint on the University and was instrumental in getting the State of Michigan school accreditation program started. John Dewey (October 20, 1859 – June 1, 1952) was an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer, whose thought has been greatly influential in the United States and around the world. ...

Philosophy

  • Theories are proven only through application.
  • Change occurs only through action.

Every year, professional educators enroll in advanced degree programs at the School of Education, drawn to U-M from around the country and around the world by the reputation of the University and the School. Students enrolled in the School of Education benefit from close working relationships with faculty, practitioners, and outstanding student colleagues.
