The School of Education at UC Davis is committed to eliminating
inequities in the schooling of and learning opportunities for
diverse learners by advancing the power of knowledge and the
promise of education.
A revolution in thought and action is underway at the UC Davis
School of Education. Like other leading universities,we apply our
research and expertise to ensure a high quality education for all
learners. Yet our approach differs. Solving the intractable
problems plaguing today’s education system requires us to be
innovative, bold, and nimble—an epic paradigm shift. Rather than
trying to unravel each strand of the Gordian Knot of education,
we aim to cleave through its complexity to catalyze change. Our
strategy is nothing short of revolutionary.Working at the
intersection of community, policy, and schools, we collaborate
around common goals and tap into the full resources of the
University of California, the Sacramento Region and the nation,
leveraging a commonality of purpose to lead innovation in
teaching and learning.
