Elementary Education

The Elementary Education Department (EED) strives to educate, train, and professionally develop creative, responsive, and reflective practitioners for a changing world. Through our Credential and multiple MA Programs, EED produces the most amount of hired teachers in LAUSD, Reading Specialists across the entire State, and STEM-educated elementary classroom practitioners. In the coming year our plans include:

  • Our Third Annual Service Learning trip to Cusco, Peru in June 2026: teaching elementary school students in Cusco and The Sacred Valley;
  • Professional Development to train STEM-educated Mentor Teacher and schoolwide participation in an Innovative Observation/Participation (O/P) Partnership Pilot;
  • Lesson Plan Podcasts: Building elementary Lesson Plan Podcasts to be used by all adjunct faculty and University Supervisors;
  • Enhancing our Social Justice Library with Social Justice Field Support: by purchasing “The Young Activist’s Social Justice Dictionary” for all Student Teachers.

As EED moves into an era of AI-informed clinical practice, we hope you will support and partner with us, our students, and the students they serve!
