A new Center for Innovation in Urban Education has also been developed, co-chaired by two of the School of Education's faculty, to emphasize the theme of improving urban education and education for all children.
"The new Center for Innovation in Urban Education is dedicated to putting Loyola on the map as a leader in advancing instructional research practices, school leadership and policy development in urban schools in the United States and around the globe," Murrell said.
In the next few years, more large changes will continue to take place. According to Fenzel, "The School is hoping to offer a Ph.D. program that will advance the scholarship of the School and educate the educational leaders and other professionals who want to become involved in deep inquiry into educational issues and make a difference in education as leaders of schools, think tanks and university programs."
On top of that drastic change, more programs and initiatives are expected to be offered to advance the mission of Loyola University, including a program to partner with community organizations along York Road. Also, in the long run, it is a hope that there will be a significant impact among the education of urban children.
"Possibilities exist in furthering our involvement in STEM education: science, technology, engineering, mathematics. This will improve education and build the capacity of communities," Fenzel said.
For students, courses in the School of Education will challenge them to think more critically about the current issues in the school systems. Murrell stated that students will be given an "education that prepares the next generation of young people for the challenges of our time and theirs."
"The quality of the education in the school is quite high currently, and Loyola enjoys a strong reputation for offering academically rigorous educational programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. We expect that this quality will continue to improve as the school commits itself to working on improving the education of all children in Baltimore and the surrounding areas and becoming more involved in ground-breaking scholarship in educational innovation," Fenzel said.
