Welcome
Thank you for visiting the College of Education Research page. In addition to training and shaping the next generation of teachers and education policy makers, College of Education faculty have and continue to make enormous contributions to our understanding of education practice and policy.
College of Education Research
UTA’s College of Education (COEd) is a leader in education research and scholarship. We continually build research infrastructure to foster cutting-edge education research and support scholars from diverse demographic and disciplinary backgrounds. We want to nurture synergies between faculty and graduate students to span disciplinary domains, grow collective resources, and elevate education research at UTA.
We possess a distinctive capacity to cultivate proposals and secure external funding that will build and leverage team science to increase the impact of faculty research on the community and make intellectual contributions to professional disciplines. COEd aims to cultivate a philosophical and policy environment that incentivizes and supports grantspersonship and extramural funding while being financially sound and equitable. We work diligently to reduce institutional barriers and to strengthen collaboration on education research across UTA and beyond.
