Conceptual Framework
A theme entitled "Education for Transformation" provides a conceptual framework that unifies programs at the Graduate School of Education. The mission of the University of Massachusetts Lowell is to meet the needs of the Commonwealth today and into the future by supporting the development of sustainable technologies and communities through its teaching, research, scholarship and engagement. The Graduate School of Education (GSE) contributes to this mission by educating new teachers and enhancing the professional development of those already in the field so that they may assume leadership roles focused on transforming the lives of children and the vitality of the region.
