Welcome to the College of Education at Illinois State University. I’m Deborah Curtis.
Illinois State University was the first public institution in Illinois, established in 1857. Since that time, we have become the largest producer of teachers and administrators in the state, and always ranked in the top ten nationally.
Illinois State University is indeed the large institutional model of excellence in the teacher education field. Realizing the Democratic Ideal at Illinois State University means preparing teachers and administrators to teach all children in all schools in the state and the nation.
On our Web site you will find departmental information from the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, Special Education, and Educational Administration and Foundations. In addition, you will find information about our faculty, who are leaders in their fields, and recognized for the research in the field of teacher education and administrator preparation.
Thanks for visiting our Web site. We look forward to seeing you here in person at Illinois State University.
