Mission
The mission of the Whitworth School of Education is to prepare professionals of mind and heart who are scholars, community members, guardians, visionary leaders, and effective practitioners who will have a positive impact on the learning and development of those whom they are called to serve.

The conceptual framework on which our programs are based directly reflects the mission of the school and will be used to guide programmatic decision-making during the years of Whitworth's 2005-2010 strategic plan.
