The College of Education at Southern Arkansas University prepares educators, administrators, coaches, trainers and student services professionals, and serves as a center to encourage excellence in the development of high quality educational institutions throughout Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma. In addition to its primary role, the College also provides opportunities that allow educators and others to continue their professional and personal development.
In addition to the professional holdings in the campus library, the College also houses the Teaching and Learning Center. This Center provides a wide array of teaching and technology resources and support services for students and faculty.
The Southwest Educational Renewal Zone collaborates with local school districts and educational service centers throughout the southwest region of the state to jointly plan and develop strategies and training for school improvement. University faculty and associates from the Arkansas Department of Education staff the center.
The faculty includes members who have held positions at the university, agency, and school district levels, including superintendents, assistant superintendents with curriculum, assessment and financial expertise, directors of professional development, principals, teachers, counselors, other student services positions, as well as coaches, athletic trainers and wellness practitioners in all fields and physiologists.
Southern Arkansas University graduates are distinguishing themselves as outstanding educational leaders as teachers, educational administrators, and student service and athletic personnel at the national, state, regional, school district, and university levels.
