Our purpose is integral to the University of Rochester's mission of Meliora — to make the world Ever Better. Our learning outcomes are in service to Warner’s mission as we support students to: BECOME practitioners and researchers who are knowledgeable, reflective, skilled and caring educators, who can make a difference in individual lives as well as their fields, and who are leaders and agents of change. GENERATE and disseminate knowledge leading to new understandings of education and human development, on which more effective educational policies and practices can be grounded. COLLABORATE across disciplines, professions and constituencies to promote change that can significantly improve education and support positive human development. Our diverse work in each of these domains is informed by the following underlying beliefs: the improvement of education is in pursuit of social justice; development and learning shape and are shaped by the contexts in which they occur; the complexity of educational problems requires an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach; and best practices are grounded in research and theory, just as useful theory and research are informed by practice.
