The School of Education at the Johns Hopkins University has a long history of providing innovative academic programs and applied research that have measurably improved the quality of PK-12 education, especially in the most challenged urban schools. This blend of quality and responsiveness has led to strong partnerships with school systems, other Johns Hopkins schools, national professional organizations, and governmental agencies.
Specifically, the School of Education addresses the most pressing needs of PK-12 schools: recruiting, preparing and retaining a new generation of highly qualified teachers; building school leadership capacity in an era of heightened accountability; helping children with special needs to reach their full potential; development research-based curricula focused on school improvement and enhanced student achievement; and ensuring a safe environment in all schools. In support of these priorities, the school houses three distinctive research and development centers: the Center for Research and Reform in Education, the Center for Technology in Education; and the Center for Summer Learning.
The School of Education awards more than 500 master's degrees in education annually, the largest number by any institution in Maryland, and includes more than 2,000 students, 42 full-time faculty, and approximately 30 research and professional staff. Classes are offered at the Homewood, Columbia and Montgomery County JHU campuses.
