Overview

Our approach allows educators to be actively engaged in their professional working environments while exploring theories, ideologies, and applications in sustained dialogue with peers and faculty.

The Educational Studies program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln conceptualizes scholarship of practice as “both substance and process,” critical to educators who can analyze, evaluate, model, and teach in a cross-section of educational settings.
