Welcome
We would like to welcome you to the Department of Educational Administration and Human Resource Development (EAHR) and our Web site. The purpose of this site is to provide information about the Department to current and prospective students, current and prospective staff, and current and prospective faculty.
We, the staff and faculty, are very proud of our Department, the accomplishments of our students, staff, and faculty, and our history and future potential. Over several decades, we and our students have played major roles, both statewide and nationwide, in the education, public and private, of children and adults, and our goal is to do even more in the future.
Again, welcome to our Department and Web site, and please feel free to contact us.
OUR PRIMARY COMMMITMENTS
The Primary Commitments of EAHR
The goal of this retreat was to develop a vision and mission for the department. However, it was decided that instead of the traditional vision and mission, the faculty developed three “primary commitments” which drive everything we do as a faculty. Here are those commitments:
Primary Commitment 1: We, the faculty of EAHR, are committed to creating a department climate that is characterized by collaboration, collegiality, trust, safety, celebration, fun, and the valuing of differences of many kinds.
Primary Commitment 2: We, the faculty of EAHR, are committed to creating a department that is characterized by rigor in all of its processes, such as teaching and research, and by high quality in all of its outcomes, such as its graduates.
Primary Commitment 3: We, the faculty of EAHR, are committed to demonstrating that equity, diversity, and social justice are embedded in all we do, especially in terms of our own community, the rigor of our processes, and the quality of our outcomes, and we are committed to increasing equity, diversity, and social justice through private and public education policy, communities, private and public organizations, and all areas of society in general.
Faculty in EAHR work together with staff to achieve the stated faculty primary commitments which are quite in alignment with the EAHR staff primary commitments.
Here are the EAHR Staff Primary Commitments:
Primary Commitment 1: We, the staff of EAHR, are committed to having a strong, motivated and dependable staff that works together as a team to build a productive, highly recognized, organized and overall number one department.
Primary Commitment 2: We, the staff of EAHR, are committed to producing high-quality work, customer service, valued communication, and support to all students, staff, faculty, and other constituents.
Primary Commitment 3: We, the staff of EAHR, are committed to creating and maintaining a supportive environment of safety, trust, and respect.
